Dear All,
As we move into the big monsoon months in the Himalaya, our centrestage for hiking, climbing and rafting trips is the resplendent Trans Himalaya. As most of those trips close, we have only two departures left, in case you want to fly-by-the-seat-of-your- pants. Join us for the Aug 13 Stok trek or the Aug 24 Ladakh Zanskar trip, if you will. Sincerely,
Fay Rikh

First crossed by J.B Auden in 1940, very little is known about this trek connecting the pilgrim centres of Gangotri and the valley of the Bhilangana, one of the most scenic walks in Garhwal. The Col straddles the connecting ridge of Gangotri III (6577m) and Jogin I (6465 m), as  we approach the Col from Rudugaira glacier and descend through the ice fall and crevassed Khatling glacier before walking down the Bhilangana valley on our exit, one of the prettiest walks in the Garhwal Himalaya. Only for experienced trekkers. |

SAHASRATAL TREK OCT 14-27
The Sahastratal group of lakes lie at an average altitude of 15000 ft in the Uttarkashi district of Uttarakhand. These lakes are considered holy by the local people who take an annual pilgrimage carrying the "Doli" (Deity) on their shoulders.Otherwise, it remains an extremely remote area not frequently visited, trekkers included. The route climbs up through the only village on the way, Sila, passing through high pastures where depending on the season, one meets only goatherds and Gujjars.The trail winds its way through massive open meadows littered with wild daffodils and climbs over a 13200 ft pass (Kyarki khal) for a brilliant view of all the mountain ranges in the area from Bandarpunch and Kala Nag to Jaonli.

MAHAKALI, THE JUNGLE BOOK ADVENTURE OCT 15-23
A trip straight out of jungle book, and the best possible within a week, offers a complete wilderness experience. No roads for over a 100kms, the valley of the Kali divides India and Nepal. Its thick tropical forests have been preserved due to the lack of infrastructure, and with fluffy Grade 3/4 whitewater, is one the most refreshing river trips in the Himalaya. Read more..

 CHADAR TREK JAN 28-FEB 8, 2012This gorge of the Zanskar therefore, remains un-trekkable during the summer when the snow melt sends the river raging, but forms a corridor of ice in winter which serves as the only way, albeit dangerous, out of the Zanskar valley.
 Zanskar - a remote valley in Ladakh is the fabled "Land of White Copper" - a land that freezes in the winter, is cut off, but is incredibly scenic, the land of the snow leopard and the ibex, black wolves and the rare Himalayan blue poppy, and of spirits and monks. At an average altitude of over 13,000 ft, the strange aspect of this valley is that it has no entrance. The two rivers that flow in it meet to carve a gorge so long and deep that one cannot travel down it to enter or exit the region. The only way out is crossing the Zanskar range of mountains, through high passes that are closed eight months in a year. |
