About the Tour:
Set off on an adventurous drive through the iconic routes of the remote lands to Lahaul & Spiti, indeed a bucket list destination for many millennials and older travelers alike. Capture an Instagram story as you cross the majestic cold barren lands of Himalayan hills, pristine gurgling rivers, scenic alpine lakes, and rich Buddhist culture and discover the reason why Rudyard Kipling described Spiti as “Surely the Gods must live here, this is no place for men."
Explore the Key Gompa, the biggest monastery sitting on the terraced land in the middle of nowhere making it appear like a castle in the clouds, and get an additional bonus from spotting that ever-elusive Snow Leopard and a rare purple cactus that is safely guarded in this remote land. As you camp at the crescent-shaped Chandratal Lake, the changing shades of turquoise water under the moonlight starry sky will bring you peace after a long adventurous day.
