Kinnaur & Spiti Valley – Winter special with Snow Leopard Expedition

30,100

Winter is here and we can’t wait to explore one of the most beautiful valleys around. Making it easier to explore this heaven during the winter. The place itself is so magical that it transforms itself into a white sheet after the first snowfall of the season, so, let us show you Kinnaur and Spiti in winters. We will cover all the major places like Chitkul, Kalpa, Nako, Ki Monastery, Dhankar, Tabo, Kibber, Mudh, Pin valley, Langza, we would like you to see what these heavenly beautiful places look like during the winters. The valley gets covered under the white sheet of snow, the rivers freeze after every snowfall and adventurers wait to witness this amazing transformation.

Embark on this super thrilling journey to spot the ever-elusive snow leopard & other animal species like the Asiatic Ibex, Tibetan Wolf & Blue Sheep, that thrive in the Kibber Wildlife Sanctuary in the Spiti Valley. Sightings are made at some point on a regular basis in this area during most winters, though we must stress that the Snow Leopard remains one of the most elusive animals on the planet and sightings are not guaranteed. We have a chance to see other animals like Bharal (Blue Sheep), Ibex, Tibetan Wolf, Fox, Pika and Wooly Hare. Many of Spiti’s birds head south in winter but some stay including Himalayan Griffon, Lammergeyer, Golden Eagle, Himalayan Snowcock, Chukor Partridge and many of smaller birds such as Finches, Dippers and Accentors.

This is a fixed departure package with available date of 7th of every month for 15 nights and 16 days. Guests will have to reach Rakccham on their own via Shimla and Sangla valley (Pick-up and drop to Shimla can be arranged on request)
