What are the famous rivers in Lahaul- Spiti?

Here are the most significant rivers in the valley:

1. Chandra-Bhaga or Chenab – The upper course of the river is famous as Chandra-Bhaga, as it is formed by the confluence of the Chandra and Bhaga rivers. The two of them meet in Tandi, and as the river makes its way through Lahaul, it lays down thick segments of sedimentary deposits. In the summer, the river is seen in its full glory, and flash floods are pretty common. But during winters, the river is sometimes frozen.

As it descends through the Western Himalayan ranges, the river starts turning northwesterly towards the cold deserts of Lahaul valley, and here it is known as Chenab. It flows along the northern parts of the Pir Panjal mountain range and enters the Doda region of J&K through a spectacular gorge. After that, the river runs south and enters the plains.

2. Spiti River – It is the largest tributary of the Satluj River and is formed by a variety of small streams. Most of these streams are fed by the snow from various glaciers in the northern Himalayan region in the Spiti Valley. The general direction of the river is south-eastern as it makes its way through the Valley, and it joins the Satluj river at Namgia, and it is considered one of the best places to visit during winter and it must be included in your spiti valley winter tour packages.

How to prepare myself if I am visiting Spiti Valley for the first time?

One of the major problems faced by people when visiting Lahaul for the first time is altitude sickness. This is due to the high atmospheric pressure and less oxygen concentration in the air.

To get used to this, you can start working out lightly and increase your lung capacity by doing cardio workouts. When you do visit the valley, you should try to take breaks when climbing so that your body can get used to the changes in the atmosphere. Additionally, avoid consuming alcohol or smoking tobacco during the trip as these things tend to decrease respiratory drive.

When traveling to Lahaul-Spiti Trip, what mistakes should one avoid?

Here are some of the most common mistakes you should avoid when planning your Spiti Valley trip:

1. Ignoring Acclimatization – No matter how fit and strong you are, how much you train every day, or how much protein you eat – everybody needs to acclimatize to the higher altitude irrespective of fitness level, age and sex. So make sure that you give your body enough time to get used to the lower oxygen levels.

2. Ignoring Road Safety Measures hen Driving to the Valley – Most people tend to underestimate how treacherous the passage to the valley is. No matter how many miles you have under your belt and how many times you have passed Rohtang, Lahaul-Spiti is an entirely different beast, and we recommend taking appropriate precautions if you are driving there yourself.

3. Not Planning the Trip – Lahaul-Spiti is a very volatile region when it comes to its geography and weather. If the weather worsens or you get stuck somewhere, it can lead to dire consequences. That is why we recommend planning your trip meticulously with every detail outlined.

4. Taking Small Babies with Them – This is highly dangerous for the baby as well as the adult. Children have an extremely hard time adjusting to low oxygen levels and they are also more prone to altitude sickness. If anything like that happens, their conditions can quickly become worse. 

5. Drinking Alcohol before Going – No matter how much experience you have with alcohol, do not take this warning lightly. Excessive amounts of alcohol along with tobacco smoking and other depressant drugs can lower respiratory drive and worsen the symptoms of altitude sickness.

6. Making a 4-5-day plan for the valley – To fully enjoy the gorgeous landscapes the valley has to offer; 4-5 days are not enough. When planning your trip, make sure you have at least 10 days set aside for the Lahaul-Spiti circuit.
