This trek crosses from the lush Kulu Valley in Himachal Pradesh over the Pin Parvati pass 5,100m/16,700ft, and then drops down to the remote Spiti valley. Until recently, Spiti lay beyond India’s ‘Inner Line’ – a sensitive border area – and only a handful of Europeans had ever been here. It was first ‘discovered’ by an Indian Pundit, one of that brave band of disguised cartographers who counted their steps by use of prayer beads and recorded their findings on notes hidden in their prayer wheels.

Spiti is very similar to Ladakh: arid mountains and gorges, scattered with villages that seem as oases, and dominated by monasteries and snow capped mountains. After our trek into the heart of this breathtaking landscape we will explore some of its ‘hidden’ treasures including the celebrated Key Monastery, home to 300 lamas.
