Natura brings to you its annual foray in to the Himalayan Wilderness in the form of a 9 day summer trek.

Rafting Expedition - River Alaknanda

This is a rafting experience which is complete with chilled out camping and action packed rapids.

In Search of Lahaul & Spiti



Spiti, literally meaning the middle country, is a high altitude cold desert dotted with numerous monasteries. In this forbidding land, Indian and Tibetan cultures have mixed with each other. Lying in the rain shadow area of the rugged mountain ranges of Zanskar, it gets very little rain and plenty of snow. The whole valley seems to have been painted in hues of purple, pink and sunset. The deep gorges carved by the snow-fed streams add charm to Spiti's stark splendour. The valley is locked between the Zanskar and the Great Himalayan ranges - the tallest of Himachal Pradesh. The Kunzum La, literally meaning the meeting place for ibex (a kind of mountain goat), is the tenuous link between Lahaul and Spiti.
