Miyar Valley Trek
7 Days / 8 Nights
Miyar Valley lies in the Himalayas of the Lahaul region and is a high altitude easy to moderate trek. The trek eventually reaches the base of Kang La Glacier, the second largest glacier in Himachal Pradesh, along the Kang La Pass from where one enters the Zanskar Valley of Ladakh. This trek is mostly done during pre and post monsoon seasons.
The valley is known for its wide alpine landscapes, glacial streams, remote villages, and dramatic mountain scenery. Despite being an easy trek technically, the remoteness of the region adds to its adventure and wilderness experience.
