It’s the perfect starting point
Completed over 8 days from Manali to Manali, our exploration of Miyar Valley is a perfect gateway into the world of trekking for beginners. The walk is slow, the gradient is gentle with most of the trail being predominantly flat, and the gradual altitude gain allows you to pace yourself as you go. In fact, this is the perfect trail for a family trek. The rewards? Peaceful campsites (with one right next to Miyar River), bouldering fields for the adventurous at Zardung, seven emerald lakes, and so much more.
Views unlike anything you’ve seen before
Tucked in the northeastern corner of Lahaul, this vast valley offers sights of remote mountain valleys, bountiful green meadows, lush flower beds of diverse vibrant flora, and quiet lakes that truly open your eyes to the beauty of nature in the Himalayas. The trail is untouched by mass tourism and is an ideal escape for travellers seeking solitude in the lap of nature.
Quaint villages and their unmatched hospitality
Khanjar, and other small and remote Himalayan villages, offer up a window into the life of those who call Miyar Valley home. The people and their cultures, traditions, and warm hospitality only add to the experience of befriending this stunning valley and truly admiring all that it has to offer.
Beautiful and untouched lakes waiting to be discovered
As you enjoy the breathtaking views of the Miyar Valley landscape, you are rewarded with the beauty of 7 glacial lakes at Kesar Yon Chhap, and the crystal-like Gompa Lake - bodies of water that are a sight to behold and offer perfect resting stops along the trail.
Lush meadows that exemplify the great outdoors
The lush green meadows of Yolithang are truly a picture of nature at its happiest. These thriving meadows are home to diverse flora - fragrant purple Himalayan Orchids, vibrant flower shrubs, bright red Orchids, and more. If you’re lucky, you might also have a chance to see rare high altitude wildlife; we can tell you because we’ve spotted wolves and paw marks from bears before!
