Nature Admire: Treks and adventure activities!

HIMALAYAN TREKKING

Trekking in "SPITI VALLEY" from 11th July 05.

Spiti confounds your understanding the space in classic Brechtian style- it is here that your will find moonscapes on earth. And ancient monsateries that hang off cliffs as old as time. The valley, stretching over 100km, is dotted with small villages and tiny hamlets, and is home to a population of less than 10,000. Those accustomed to the gnetle slopes of the mountains, filled with pines and poplars, will see a different face of the Himalayas here. This terrain, with its barren landscape and looming rock faces, is stark, naked and awe-inspiring.

Terrain: Moderate
Duration: 9 days.
Tariff: Rs 8,999/-


TREKKING IN "LADAKH" from 21st July 2005

The vast land, dry and desiccated, swells and billows into great tiers of snow crested peaks. Arching over it is a sky, pure blue, benign, sheltering. THe Indus bisects the floor of the valley. In summer, it is a sullen grey, silt-laden, sometimes turning to violet. In autumn, it is at tis most graceful; turquoise and aquamarine waters weaving through golden banks of tall poplars and tumbling willows. Crumbling old monasteries that are perched on rocky promontories command the barren, empty vistas. Dominating Leh from its vantage on the norther crag is the Leh Palace, a diminutive Potala. In the late afternoon, the wind picks up, riffling the prayer flags, carrying snatches of the deeply-intoned homage to Manjushri.

Terrain: Moderate.
ROute: LUMAYURU TO ALCHI
Duration: 9days.
Tariff: Rs 9,999/-


BACKPACKING @ WESTERN GHATS.
