Tour to go

Parvatti Valley The parvatti Valley runs north-east from bhuntar, which is south of murder. You can go up the valley by transport. Manikaran is worked close to sulfur natural aquifers and it's fascinating to watch local people cook their nourishment in the pools of high temp water at the Sikh sanctuary. There are likewise hot showers (separate showers for me and ladies) at the sanctuary and, obviously, free settlement. High temp water is pleasant to have in manikaran in light of the fact that the sides of the valley are exceptionally steep, and very little sun gets in. It's said that Siva sat and thought for a long time at khir ganga, a 30-km stroll from Manhattan. There are a ton of French and Italian radicals in the zone. There's incredible trekking and magnificent view here.

                   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.

                The Parvatti Valley runs north-east from Bhuntar, which is south of Kullu. You can travel up the valley by bus.               Manikaran is built near sulphur hot springs and it's interesting to watch the locals cook their food in the pools of hot water at the Sikh temple. There are also hot baths at the temple and, of course, free accommodation. Hot water is nice to have in Manikaran because the sides of the valley are very steep, and not much sun gets in. It's said that Siva sat and meditated for 2000 years at Khir Ganga, a 30-km walk from Manikaran.               There are a lot of French and Italian hippies in the area. There's great trekking and wonderful scenery here. 

                    The fertile Kullu valley rises northward from Mandi at 760 metres to the the Rohtang pass at 3978 metres, the gateway to Lahaul and Spit. In the south the valley is little more than a narrow, precipitous gorge, with the Beas River sometimes a sheer 300 metres below the narrow road.          Further up, the valley widens and its main part is 80 km long, though rarely more than a couple of km wide. Here there are stonefruit and apple orchards, rice fields and wheat fields along the Valley floor and lower slopes, and deodar forests higher up the slopes, with snow-crowned rocky peaks towering behind. The main towns, Kullu and Manali. Are in this fertile section of the valley. The people of the Kullu Valley are friendly, devout, hard-working and relatively prosperous. The men wear the distinctive Kullu cap, a pillbox with a flap around the front in which they may stick flowers. The women we...
