The Green Himalayas Leh Tour Service
The green Himalayas are much more 'Alpine' compared to the two other proposed regions : Ladakh and Spiti. Fauna, flora, climate and landscapes remind the European ranges, except that everything is at the Himalayan scale: gigantic.
Summits are over 6000 metres, the rivers are incredible and powerful, glaciers impressive, and the approaches take several days of walking.
The green Himalayas also differ from the Alps with regard to facilities and infrastructure. The road network and housing facilities are fairly well developed compared to other Himalayan regions, but it is difficult, even impossible, to trek without a guide and other local assistants. Hiking maps do not exist, trails are poorly maintained, there is virtually no shelter, and no aerial lifts in case of emergency.
But this is probably what gives the region an extra bonus: when you're in nature, it is the true nature!
The green Himalayas are therefore an ideal region for fans of trekking and hiking in nature amongst medium to high mountains.
