Tons Camp, Lunagad
Located at a pleasant 3500 feet above sea level, the Tons valley is rich in every type of western Himalayan flora and fauna, densely forested with deodar, pine, alpine oak, birch, chestnut, rhododendron and jamun.   Lunagad Pool, 40 mins from Camp Lunagad
 
An excellent river camping site, relaxing walks, ample angling opportunities and great whitewater make it an ideal getaway for everyone including families and children, from the quiet holiday-maker to the die hard adventure seeker. 
 
18 Down, Zanskar Canyon Day 4
 Arguably, the  best way to experience Ladakh on a guaranteed-to-stay-with-you experience down the amazing Zanskar canyon. Undoubtedly a classic, this journey to the last truly lost horizon of our shrinking planet - Zanskar, the "land of white copper" is a trip of a lifetime. 
 
Our most popular trip fills up weeks before trip deadline, and very few spots will be left, very soon.

Kuflon, the inimitable retreat
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.
 
EXCITING JUNE - JULY TREKS !!
Base of Konze La
 
An interesting trek beginning at Lamayuru and walking up the less traveled Ripchar valley with its small villages, nomadic settlements and pastures where we see a wide variety of flowers from end of July to end of August and birds too. We cross some high passes with excellent views of the Karakorams and the Zanskar ranges.

Crossing a Stream
 
A moderate trek which starts from the Bhagirathi valley, via the lake of Dodital  to the alpine meadows and crosses over at Darwa Pass (4150m) to the Yamuna watershed. Traditionally this trek has been continuously used by the Gujjars, the nomadic herdsmen who get their buffalos to the high meadows every summer and occasionally by the pilgrims / sadhus walking between Gangotri and Yamunotri
