Overview
While the rest of the world is only running after Spiti and Ladakh, here is a hidden gem of Himachal, Lahaul Valley, that most people often ignore on their trip to Spiti. Earlier divided into two separate districts: Lahaul and Spiti, now has become one single highest district of Himachal: Lahaul-Spiti. Though now part of the same district, Lahaul is pretty different from Spiti. While Spiti is mostly dry and arid in nature, Lahaul is lush green and flowery. The endless fields of grass and flowers constitute the never seen landscapes in this beautiful region of Himachal. Book our Manali Lahaul Trip Packages to explore this unexplored heaven on earth. The trip starts from Chandigarh and the first destination is the most beautiful and heard of destination in Himachal, Manali. The best places to visit in Manali are the Hadimba Devi temple, Vashishth village, Jogini waterfalls, Solang Valley, Rohtang Pass, Old Manali and much more. Leaving the Manali sightseeing for later, we will first head from Manali to Tandi. On your way back from Lahaul Valley, we will spend a day in Manali for all the local sightseeing and adventure activities where you can see places to explore in Manali. Tandi is a small unexplored village in the Lahaul Valley where the two rivers: Chandra and Bhaga meet to form the river Chandrabhaga. Earlier , it was hard to reach Tandi and other unexplored villages of Lahaul because the highway would stay closed for most part of the year. Since the construction of Atal Tunnel, it has become extremely easy to reach Tandi. The route from Tandi to Miyar Valley is another reason why you must book these Manali Lahaul trip packages. Filled with flower beds, coniferous trees, flowing rivers, mountain ranges, and quaint villages along the route, the ride from Tandi to Miyar Valley is worth remembering. Miyar valley is heaven for trekkers. Every year, several trekking enthusiasts come to Miyar Valley to do the famous Miyar Valley trek. Lying between Chamba and Zanskar, Miyar Valley is the one stop shop for everything related to nature. The Miyar river joins Chandrabhaga in Udaipur, a small village in the valley. As far as the flora and fauna of the valley is concerned, you may have never seen so many varieties of flowers, trees and birds that you will get to witness in the Miyar Valley. Juniper trees, Willow, Pine, Cedars, birch, Alder and Poplar are some of many mountain trees to be witnessed, along with different colors of the Himalayan Orchids. The next destination, Jispa, is another scenic, quaint and less explored village of Lahaul Valley. Jispa is most famous for its camping grounds, the scenic landscape beauty, Baga river and the night sky full of billions of stars. Tourists often halt at Jispa and set up camps to experience the unwavering lush green beauty and the captivating night sky.
