TREK TO LAHUL VALLEY OVER INDERHARA PASS (4300M) AND KUGTI PASS (5040M)

A 21-day tour (13 days trekking) that begins and ends in Delhi. We start the trek in Mcleodganj and end at Sansa (near Keylong) in Lahul valley, after crossing Inderhara Pass in the Dhauladhars and Kugti pass in the Pir Panjal range of Central Himalayas. Crossing Kugti Pass, we trek over snow, ice and a glacier for three to four hours- physically demanding. From Kugti Pass it is possible to see the snow capped mountains beyond Lahul valley on one side and Mount Kailash and Manimahesh Dhar on the other.  Rapey, the first village beyond Kugti pass, provides an open view of Pattan, the green valley of Lahul. We visit Hindu temples and tribal villages on the way.
