This challenging journey through the two most iconic Spitian High Passes is a thrilling adventure
While Takling La is a challenge and Parang La boasts of a long glacier, this trail takes one on a journey that offers the best of both! Join us on this exciting circuit of the Spitian High Passes as we traverse Parang La - the most iconic trek Spiti had to offer, and Takling La, an equally distinguished and the less explored high pass. All this and more makes this one of the most exciting Trans-Himalayan trips we have for you to experience!
Please Note: This trek is not recommended for beginners.
