Manali and Lahaul & Spiti Tour Overview

Real travellers are always in search of real life experiences. While in Spiti valley, enjoying a safari on a yak brings you closer to local culture and lifestyle that locals lead in Spitivalley. Yak happens to be the largest animal in the cold deserts of trans-Himalayan
Spitivalley. It can easily be distinguished by its long black hair, which is tinged with gray at the muzzle. Spending its summers at a height above 5000 meters, in winter it moves in herds to the lakes, marshes and lower valleys. It is this highly insulated shaggy coat which helps Yak to survive in such extreme cold.
