Experience mountain life of the Ghaddi people, the markets, the colour, the sacred cows and the wonderful work and music of Tibetans in exile.

Come trekking to the snowline or birdwatching on the newly declared wetland at the foot of the ranges.

Great music, food and accommodation.

Meet lots of people on the way
