Trekking in Spiti Valley
Spiti is the most isolated sub district
of Himachal Pradesh. The mountains are devoid of vegetation; erosion by
wind, sun and snow over millions of years has laid bare the rocks.
The rugged rocky mountain slopes sweep down to riverbeds giving the
landscape a peculiar moonlike appearance. Trekking in Spiti Recently
opened to foreigners, the trails in Spiti Valley provide a very different
experience. The trails are tough and pass through very rugged and isolated
regions.
|Trek -I|
Lingti Valley Trek
Lingti Valley is a living geological museum and is
the longest (60km) and largest side valley of Spiti. It is famous for shales
and fossils in a geological history dating back 250 million years.

Pin Valley Trek
Pin valley is entered from the Spiti over a steel
bridge near Atargo, 14km SE of Kaja, and is even more rugged, barren and devoid
of vegetation than the norm for this region. Sheer, vividly-colored stratified
cliffs tower above the dirt track with a bus service along the Pin river for
13km to Guling (3554m).
