Lagaya, Spiti & Kinnaur

Fifty-one km north of Manali, the road to Leh crosses the Rohtang Pass and enters the Tibetan regions of Lahaul and Spit, which are quite unlike the Kullu Valley. The Rohtang Pass has the same ' gateway' nature as the Zoji La between Kashmir and Laakh.

The region is bound by Ladakh to the north, Tibet to the east, and Kullu to the south-east. South of Spiti is Kinnaur, accessible from Shimla. Much of the area is open only during the short summer season when the snow on the passes melts.

Trekking.

There are many trekking possibilities in this area, a popular one being the trek from Darcha to Padam via the headquarters of the Zanskar region, there are regular buses to Kargil on the Leh to Srinagar road. See Lonely Planet's Trekking in the Indian Himalaya for more information.

This is certainly one of the most pleasant hill stations to visit and there are many interesting walks through the forests to points with superb views of the Himalaya.
