༄ The Chandra Tal region region is located in India’s Pir Panjal range, with most people visiting the region to view the Chandra Tal Lake. We begin in Manali, journey overland to Darcha and the Baralacha La, and then trek into this wild region for an intermediate/advanced peak climbing trip. Luke Smithwick will be guiding this trip, instructing in climbing skills, and guiding on the peaks. This is a great first Himalayan experience, and also a new one for the Himalayan veteran. All in two weeks. Join us.

First Ascents in Himachal? For many of the peaks in the Himachal there are no records of prior ascents. We also oftentimes find no evidence of other humans visiting the summits of peaks before. Instead of looking at these peaks as our being the first to put bootprints on the summit, we like to simply enjoy the solitude of the region.

TRUST

Climbing at 6000+ meters is no place to be short on resources. We make the proper advance preparations to ensure that our team will be properly cared for, from airport to summit to airport.

COST EFFECTIVE. FULL SERVICE.
