Spiti Valley · Winter 2026 · Latest
Nine days into the cold desert with Kunzum La shut and Kinnaur as the only way in. Coldest recorded night was −27°C at Langza. Two vehicles ran studded tyres, all six carried chains, and we used them on four separate stretches.
7–15 February 2026
Himachal · Autumn 2025
Four days on home ground. Twenty-two people, nine vehicles and the Chanshal trails at their autumn best — dry in the morning, greasy after the afternoon squalls, and the recovery gear earned its keep on the last day.
Zanskar · Autumn 2025
Six days in the narrowest corridor we drive. Autumn light, low water and near-empty roads made this the cleanest Zanskar run of the year — but the Shinku La descent still shed rock onto the road twice while we were on it.
Ladakh & Zanskar · Summer 2025
Eleven days, six 4x4s and eighteen people from Manali to Hanle and back down through Tso Moriri. A dry August meant the Zanskar crossings were unusually kind, but the Shinku La approach still handed us two water crossings above knee depth and a full day of graded gravel.
Ladakh · Summer 2025
Six days on the eastern plateaus with the Indus for company. Wide, fast gravel, thin air the entire time and almost nothing between fuel stops. Two guests flew into Leh and needed a full extra acclimatisation day before we moved east.
Spiti Valley · Summer 2025
The first full-circuit run of the season. Kunzum La opened five days before we rolled, so Chandratal was still ringed with old snow and the Batal stretch was pure meltwater. Eight days, twelve guests, four vehicles, no missed nights.
