Chandra Tal Lake Trek

Spiti Valley · Himachal Pradesh

The crescent-shaped Moon Lake of Spiti sits at 4300m surrounded by stark brown mountains that reflect perfectly in its turquoise waters. While reachable by a short 2km walk from the parking lot, the altitude makes it deceptively challenging. One of the most photogenic high-altitude lakes in India — every angle is a postcard.

⚠ High altitude — acclimatize in Kaza for 2 days minimum before visiting

Moderate (2-5 days, some fitness needed)

Kangla Pass Trek

Spiti Valley · Himachal Pradesh

A demanding high-altitude crossover connecting Pin Valley in Spiti to Kullu via the Kangla Pass at 5500m. The trek traverses the Pin Valley National Park — home to snow leopards and ibex — before climbing to a dramatic pass with views of the Great Himalayan Range. The descent into Kullu valley is steep and wild. A genuine wilderness adventure for experienced high-altitude trekkers.

⚠ Very high pass at 5500m — AMS risk severe

Lamkhaga Pass Trek

Kinnaur · Himachal Pradesh

One of the most challenging and remote crossover treks in the Indian Himalayas — connecting Kinnaur (Chitkul) to Garhwal (Harsil) across the fearsome Lamkhaga Pass at 5282m. This is wilderness trekking at its rawest — no villages, no trails in sections, glacier crossings, steep moraines, and days of complete isolation. Only for experienced trekkers with high-altitude exposure. The reward is an untouched landscape few humans ever see.

⚠ Extremely remote — no rescue possible for 4-5 days

Parang La Trek

Spiti Valley · Himachal Pradesh

An ancient trade route connecting Spiti to Ladakh across one of the highest trekkable passes in India at 5580m. Parang La is remote, wild, and unforgiving — crossing vast glaciers, fording icy rivers, and navigating terrain that sees almost no other trekkers. The landscape shifts from Spiti's arid moonscape to Ladakh's stark beauty. This is expedition-grade trekking for those who want to go where almost nobody else does.

⚠ Extremely remote — no habitation for 8 days
