The Middle Tons Mania May 2-9, 2009 |
 |
| In May 2005, we ran the first rafting descent on the entire Tons river since 1986, almost a first descent as the river had changed considerably over 19 years. Between Lunagad and Tiuni, the river drops at an average rate of 32 feet per kilometer. This includes a drop of 78 feet/kilometer over the last three and a half kilometers before Tiuni. Write in soon to join us for the truncated version of our Total Tons Tonnage! |

Siladoooni is used mainly as pastoral ground by the local villagers for gazing. The campsite is surrounded with thick forest and is home to barbets, thrushes, woodpeckers and a variety of Himalayan bird species. The water holes made by the villagers for their cattle are favorite with the wild animals and chances to catch them unawares is high for the early risers.

Drives at 14,000 feet, an ancient culture, and a run down big volume rapids set in the land of  1000 year old monasteries, and traverse the entire region in a fortnight of high adventure! We travel down the old Hindustan Tibet road via tribal Kinnaur, in a fascinating journey to a little known corner of the Indian Transhimalaya.

 At 18,000 ft plus, Shiti (white) dhar (peak) is the perfect introductory peak for mountaineering. It is ideal for trekkers without climbing experience, wanting to summit a Himalayan peak. It's south face offers a straightforward but challenging route to the summit. Shitidhar's accessibility makes it doubly attractive. The base camp, by the emerald Beas Kund, the source of the Beas, is just a day's trek away from Manali. The climb offers spectacular close-up views of Hanuman Tibba on the west, and in the distance, to the east, of Indrasan, Deotibba and the lesser mountains of the Pir Panjal.

 Connecting the two holy shrines of Gangotri and Badrinath, this trail traverses from one glacier to the other to cross the high pass of Kalindi just under 6000m. The walk is mostly over the moraines and the snow fields with deep crevasses and gives great opportunities to view the high altitude wildlife and camp by some small glacial lakes. Walking at an average altitude of 4500m for about 10 days and sleeping at freezing temperatures this trip is a lot more than a trek.
Only for experienced trekkers !
