Kinnaur Bus Timetable (New Timings)
Reckong Peo bus stop is located near HPPWD Circuit House, Reckong Peo. Mostly, the government run Himachal Pradesh Transport Corporation (HRTC) buses run from the Reckong Peo bus stop. The bus stop is colloquially known as Peo bus stand, as the locals prefer to call the town ‘Peo’. Travelers can also take a bus from…
Spotting Snow Leopards Of Kibber (in Spiti Valley)
It was a sunny, yet blistering cold day, with temperatures around -15 degrees Celsius. We had spotted a male snow leopard across the valley, sleeping in a shallow cave in Kibber wildlife sanctuary (WLS). This cat was about 600 meters away (as viewed through the lens), with a steep, narrow gorge and a river at…
Parang La Pass (Trekking From Kibber To Tso-moriri)
Despite nearly losing one hiking boot to its flow just minutes before, crossing the thigh-high fast currents of the Pare Chu River at Norbu Sumdo felt strangely exciting. After all, there’s only so much walking on river bed that one can take. Walking through dry valleys for days after crossing the Parang La pass, even…
Snow Leopard Photo Tour in Spiti Valley (Kibber WLS)
It might strike you as both bizarre (and equally fascinating) to drive to Spiti valley and Kinnaur during wintertime. Though for solitude seekers and wildlife photographers — with a goal to unplug and get off-grid, or spot endangered (now vulnerable) snow leopards and assorted mammal and bird species in Kibber wildlife sanctuary — the snowscapes…
Auden’s Col Trek Photolog
What comes to your mind when I say Planet Earth? For me, it’s the grandeur, the massive scale of our planet. Specially when in the high mountains, it’s a realization of how we as humans are such a tiny part of this grand planet called Earth but instead of that we have such a huge…
Borasu Pass Trek Log (Har-ki-Dun to Chitkul Traverse)
On June 30th Kamal and I took a bus from Mussoorie to reach Sankri. We reached Sankri by 4PM. No jeep was available to Taluka village — the last village before Borasu pass — because of the rains. So we walked from Sankri — the last village having electricity supply — to Taluka for a…
Uber Charming Chitkul Village of Himachal Pradesh
I wonder why people who plan to explore the most scenic state of Himachal Pradesh only end up visiting Shimla or Manali? What a lost opportunity to experience the real beauty of Himachal Pradesh, which lies in locations beyond these popular towns. Chitkul, for instance, is a hidden gem that can offer a memorable experience away…
Parang-La Pass Trek Log
On my return to Mud village of Spiti valley (from the Pin-Parvati trek), I was surprised to find Simon, a traveller from the UK (Birmingham), still staying at Mud. He was there for the past 10 days. The next day, on 4th Aug, after an early breakfast, I caught the 7 AM bus (along with…
