The terrain of Himachal is well documented
for its variety of choices; from the verdant Kullu Valley
with it alpine meadows & conifer forests to the stark
landscape of Spiti.
The entire region is crisscrossed by four
mountain ranges. The Dhaula Dhar, Pir Panjal, Himalayas and
Zanskar.
All the regions have a rich cultural heritage
that reflects in the life styles of the local villagers. It
would not be incorrect to say that Himachal has the most diverse
trekking routes in the Indian Mountains.
While you have some of the more famous ones
to choose from like the Mani Mahesh, Pin Parbati, Kinnar Kailash
etc. it is the path less often traveled that offers the enthusiast
an amazing range of options.
Trekking into Lahul Spiti is a delightful
experience as one gets to see a wide spectrum of the landscape.
Treks origination in Kullu and Kinnaur especially add to this
feeling.
It is almost as if you can almost choose
the vignettes that you want to capture and then embark on
your journey.
But some things are best left unsaid, for
discovering them yourself adds to the pleasure infinitely.
