Himachal Tour
Packages
The
main trekking areas in Himachal are the Dhauladhar and Pir Panjal ranges,
routes over the passes between the Shimla region and the Kullu valley, the
numerous treks out of Kullu and select treks in the Trans-Himalyan regions
of Kinnaur, Lahaul and Spiti. Most trekking areas are between 1500 metres
and 6000 metres. With well over two hundred defined trails, the variation
in terrain is also enormous. Low scrub-land and paths through paddy
fields, give way to trails strewn with pine needles. Then come woods of
oak and flowering rhododendron, which merge into forest of Himalyan cedar
– ‘deodar’ – and spruce. On most trails, small pastoral hamlets dot the
way. Cunningly hidden between the high mountains are passes which were
once known only to migrant shepherds and dare all traders. These lead to
the fabulous wastes and swift rivers of the arid Trans-Himalya. A host of
combinations and variations take the trails through changing countryside.
The degree of physical output can also be changed to suit your
requirements. For example, the same trek can be developed from a week to
last longer. Or, the two ends of a trek can be the same, but the trails
can be designed to be taxing, or gentle.
