Itinerary
Day 1: Delhi to
Manali
On the very first day
we will drive from Delhi to Manali, which takes 10-12 hrs.
Day 2:
Early in the morning,
after having light food, we will go for Sight-Seeing around Manali. Manali is a
small little hill station filled with tourists. We will start the day early
with a drive on the left bank of the Beas to the village of Naggar, which is
famous for the Russian artist Roerich’s gallery. Naggar also has a famous
castle and the views around the area are spectacular. We will be back to Manali
and move further to Solang, which is the paragliding and skiing zone of the
area. After this, we will drive back to Manali to stay at night in the hotel
where we can have our dinner.
Day 3:
On third day we will
drive to Kaza (3686m) - a run of 8-9 hrs.
Day 4:
On this day a run of
an hour will take us to Langza. This day is relatively easy day in order to
acclimatize us to the altitude. There is no need to wake up early on this day.
We can start after a leisurely breakfast and reach Langza by noon to visit to the
Lang (temple), before lunch. The Lang is regarded to be the headquarters of all
the deities of the valley and houses some old frescos and thankas (paintings on
silken canvas). Relish your dinner and stay overnight in the homestays.
Day 5:
From Langza, we will
move to Jureley. It is a journey of around 5 to 6 hrs. Here, it is wise to
start early as it’s the first day of trekking and should be taken gradually.
This track traverses along a natural vestige center with the opportunity to
spot some rare remnants of Spiti’s geological history. The trail runs
equivalent to the stunningly striking Pasham Range with the peaks of Chau Chau
Khang Nilda and Chau Chau Khang Namo forming a striking backdrop. Besides a
host of floral variety, we will find blue sheeps around.
Day 6:
A 4 to 5 hrs run will
take us to Mulchay. The track slowly breezes itself over pasturelands. The day
can be spent marveling at the magnificence and imposing stature of the grazing
yaks and horses. The night is spent camping at a summer settlement of the
villagers.
Day 7:
On seventh day we
will move to Demul (4357m) – a run of 2 to 3 hrs. As soon as we leave Mulcahy,
there is a sagacity of eagerness that builds before approaching Demul. It is
located in one of the most remote areas of Spiti, this village has a very
attention-grabbing legend associated with its foundation. After a warm lunch in
a homestay, there are lots of unique spots close to this village which
shouldn’t be missed. The village guides are a good source of information for
not only the places but also the inimitable history surrounding this village.
Day 8:
On this day we will
move to Lhalung, it is a journey of 4 to 5 hrs. This route goes downhill. We
will have our lunch at a village called Saglung, housing all of 2 houses. This village
is amazingly picturesque and for a minute it’s hard to believe one is in a cold
desert. The oldest temple and possibly one of the oldest trees (dating back to
over a 1000 years) in Spiti are famous here.
Day 9:
A 4-5 hrs drive will
take us to Dhankhar. This route winds itself along the road for a while before
a gradual ascent up the mountain side brings one to one of most picturesque
spots in Spiti. Dhankhar Lake has its own story to tell cradled in the lap of
stark mountains reflecting heaven and earth in its crystal clear waters. Packed
lunch can be had here and thereafter a steep descent brings one to the ancient
capital of Spiti. Sketched along stone-mud pillars and cliffs, it’s hard to
describe Dhankhar as words are inadequate for this village, balanced
precariously amidst geological relics.
Day 10:
Then after on this
day, in morning we will visit Kaza which takes 1 hr 30 mins. We can spend the
morning visiting the old & new monasteries, the remains of the Dhankhar
Fort and a museum of cultural artifacts. In homestay we will have your lunch.
Get back to Kaza after taking lunch.
Day 11:
On this day we will
drive back to Manali.
Day 12:
Last day, drive from
Manali to Delhi.
