Adventure Site of Camping :

Shorter Term Treks
The tourists who have very little time on hand, can try for this trek. If one has only two to three days in hand - a drive from Kullu is suggested, to reach the roadhead at the Manikaran hot springs. Next morning a walk along the Parvati and a short trek to secluded village of Pulga. This short time trek can be enjoyed almost all year round.

Long Term Treks
Sometimes clubbed together, Lahaul Spiti and the Manali Leh road are two of the world's most rugged motorable routes which can be interspersed with treks in the vicinity. Sturdy vehicles in convoy are suggested! Since it involves crossing the second highest motorable point in the world at Taglangla (17482 ft.), it is open only from July to September. It's 470 km length is best completed in three days from Manali including accommodations on the way. The Spiti road branches east from Gramphu at the northern base of the Rohtang Pass. It is meant for hardy vehicles which must cross the Kunzum La, where the altitude touches 4590 m. After the first village, Losar, the road carries on to the 1000 year old Tabo monastery at 3050 m. For the drive from the opposite direction, starting at Shimla, the road to Spiti is open virtually all year. With Inner Line Permits, a 4/5 day exit over the little known Parang La leads to the Rupshu plain in Ladakh.
