| The Parang La Trek ( 21 Days ) |
|
|
| This remote trail follows the traditional trade route between the people of Spiti, Changthang and Tibet. It begins in the high altitude meadows of Kibber, the breeding ground of the famous Spiti horses. The trail descends the Kibber gorge and then climbs over the Parang la (5600 mts), the source of the Pare Chu river, the only one of its kind to have its source in India, flow into Tibet and enter the country again in Spiti. Across the pass, the trail follows a broad valley till the confluence of the Pare Chu with the Phirtse Phu at Norbu Sumdo. The trail goes along the Tso Moriri till we reach Karzog, a permanent settlement of the Changpas on the banks of the Tso Moriri. We also visit one of the Changpa settlements in a bowl high above Karzog, where they breed Pashmina, one of the trade items, to over these high passes.
A challenging trek for the enthusiastic walker in one of the more spectacular areas of Ladakh recently opened for tourism. |
