MIYAR VALLEY
Overview
We truly believe that there are no shortcuts to places that are worth visiting. Which is why whether it’s our self drive adventures or walking holidays, we get you out there to explore more. Our walking holidays are designed to suit most people who enjoy getting out there in nature and walk! You don’t need to be an expert trekker to be a part of these.
Miyar Valley is a remote corner within Lahaul which is separated from Zanskar in Ladakh by high mountains and glaciers. Our walk along the Miyar Nala is one of the last few easy treks in the country still undiscovered by many. Our curated walking holiday is as comfortable as the great outdoors can get. With easy walks, comfortable tents, great food and a team which is always there to help, we’ve thought of everything.
The Happyness Company, in collaboration with OneLatitude, brings you this spectacular experience.
We can’t wait to take you on this journey!
