The Trans Himalayan regions

The Trans Himalayan regions of the states of Jammu and Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh are a moonscape land- an arid high altitude desert unlike any other part of the Indian subcontinent. The stark landscape is a panorama of high snow-capped peaks and bare multi-hued hills sculpted by the forces of nature. The high dusty valleys spotted with lunar rock have altitudes ranging from 2500 m to 4500 m

The climate is extreme with long snow bound winters and a brief 3 month summer: Cut off from the water laden monsoon clouds by the Great Himalayan Range, rainfall is a mere 2 inches per year and it is the melting snow flowing swiftly down the rocky streams and rivers that sustain habitation and meager cops of barley, wheat, fruit trees and vegetables. During the short summer season the villages are splashes of green providing relief to this stark grandeur with their patchwork of fields, groves of tall polars and willows and little whitewashed flat-roofed houses.

Within this area falls the division of Ladakh with its Leh and Kargil districts in the state of Jammu and Kashmir and the adjacent district of Lahaul Spiti in Himachal Pradesh. For centuries these trans Himalayan tracts remained locked behind formidable mountain walls linked to the outside world by barely penetrable passes and narrow mountain paths. Despite this isolation and the harshness of the climate and environment, the people are endowed with a hardiness of character and natural gaiety.

For the visitor this region is a dramatic escape into an unfamiliar world with marvelous opportunities for an unusual holiday. An ideal place for trekking, mountaineering, camping or white water rafting; for discovering the treasures of Buddhist monasteries (Gompas); for shopping in romantic bazaars; for participation in the excitement of a local festival or for simply experiencing the highs of this lunar landscape! Since the best time to visit this area is form early June to end September it is an ideal destination for the monsoons- especially as it does not rain here!

                    
                    Why no problems during August-September:

                    1. No more rainy season as it 
                    rains only in the months of July and august.

                    2. Most of the travel is done 
                    on no rain areas(on higher altitudes) or areas where it 
                    rains very little

                    3. These being the Border 
                    roads, BRO(Border Roads Organisation) and GREF(General 
                    Reserve Engineering force)keep a constant vigil 24x7 on 
                    these roads - Personnel and machinery ready all the time

                    4. Months of August-September 
                    are considered the safest to travel on these rods especially 
                    while taking a long journey as the roads are in the best of 
                    conditions

                    5. There can however be 
                    smaller interruptions (usually less than an hour or two) 
                    because of minor landslides, road maintenance work which are 
                    fairly expected in this region but it's fun having a break 
                    and seeing BRO people work

                    6.Our good rapport with the 
                    local administration/ authorities and locals at different 
                    places makes us more confident and every effort is made to 
                    ensure that the journey is comfortable in all respects.
