The Spiti - Pin River Expedition

More Images

The Spiti Pin River Expedition is bounded by the Kullu Valley in the south, Ladakh in the north and Tibet in the east. The twin valley of Lahaul and Spiti is a section of nature at its wildest. This terrain presents itself in many ways, which has the mysterious ambience of Leh, Nubra and Zanskar Valleys.

The valley includes glaciers, high ridges, broad valleys, pastures and has an altitude exceeding 3000m. During our whole journey, we will spot the famous monasteries, villages like little green oasis in a stark, brown and dry scenery, miles of rolling pastures, peaks and swollen rivers which twirl into sheer trickles in winter.

Our Spiti – Pin valleys expedition moves down over a 100 kms of river in the twin valleys of the Spiti and Pin rivers. We would observe closely the amazing culture of Spiti, the tribal district of Kinnaur via the Sutlej and Baspa valleys, which encompasses some of the most astonishing parts of the Trans Himalaya. We will run down to the most adventurous rapids, which are located in the land of 1000 year old monasteries, and pass through the whole region in a fortnight of high adventure.

The monasteries are affluent repositories of ancient murals, wood carvings and golden images of the Padmasambhava. The people are charming and affable with their own traditional dances, ballads, folk tales and legends.
