With this safari, you pass through three former Kingdoms: Kinnaur-Spiti-Lahual-Ladakh. Now the Spiti-areas belong to India and were declared strictly prohibited for tourists by the Indian Government until 1995. From Kinnaur you enter the very remote, dry and mostly barrer valley of spiti which has the tabo ,Ki and Dankar monasteries.
You cross the Kunzumla into Lahaul and then take the Manali-Leh road that passes over Baralacha la and tanglang la-the third highest pass in the world into leh, where you visit shey,thiksey and Hemis Gompas and the Tibetan bazaar…The Satluj River, which rises from the southern slopes of the Kailash (the Holly Mountain in Asia) flows into the Kinnaur valley. Enjoy the natural beauty and to explore the area . It is a fascinating area for Buddhist art and the monasteries, rich repositories of ancient murals, Thankas, woodcarvings and golden images of the Padmasambhava. These areas are one of the most scenic but very less frequented by tourists.

Reviews
Simply put “WOW”.
Simply put “WOW”. I have never met more responsible people in my life. They made sure every step of the way was taken care of from the drivers, tour guides, trek guides, porters and hotel accommodations. I highly recommend this company for its hard working, responsible and friendly people. The people make a company. Special thanks to: Anuja “the planner”, Chitiz & Ashmir “the ultimate trekking guides” and finally Robin “the enthusiastic jungle bird watcher”.

San Diego, CaliforniaPlan Holidays did a fantastic job on our whole trip!
Plan Holidays did a fantastic job on our whole trip! We did the trip that included time in Kathmandu, Pokhara, Chitwan National Park and a 5-day trek around Annapurna. From the moment we stepped off the plane, we had guides showing us around and everything was perfectly planned for us. Maila, our trekking guide was amazing and had so much knowledge! It was a great trip!

Boston, MassachusettsIncredibly well organized
This company was amazing. Incredibly well organized. I felt safe and spoiled. Our airport transports were always early and waiting for us. All of our reservations for our accommodations and busses were perfect. The temple tour we took was super fun and educational. Some of our luggage got stuck in our layover country and between this travel agency and our hotel they were able to get it for us and deliver it the next day. We also had a 10month old traveling with us and they made sure that our accommodation and travel plans were safe for him. During our 5 days of trekking, we had THE BEST guide/sherpa. I would positively let them plan another trip for us. Thank you!!!!

I had a wonderful experience
I recently booked a tour with Plan Holidays, and I had a wonderful experience. Anuja scheduled the tour, and it was comforting to have our trip covered without any concerns. Our guide Shiva took us through Kathmandu, and showed all us the highlights of the city and provided us with the cultural and historical background. We also did the Poon Hill Trek with guides Chitiz and Ashmir, who provided a peaceful hike through the Himalayas. On our last two days, we spent time in Chitwan National Park, where our guide, Robin, took us on adventures where we saw crocodiles and rhinos.
The entire package was affordable, and our guides met our every need; they went out of their way for us on many occasions. It was comforting to get off the bus and see our guides waiting for us with our name tags. I would highly encourage anyone to book a trip through this company. I promise that you will have an amazing experience–five stars!
