The Indian Himalayas offers a wide choice of walking; the Miyar Valley combines magnificent scenery with manageable terrain, moderate altitude, a multitude of flowers and Buddhist culture. The valley is flanked by the soaring peaks of the Great Himalayan Range, offers a chance to see part of the beautiful ‘alpine’ scenery of the Kulu Valley and gives access to the Rhotang Pass (3978m). This trekking route provides the scenery without the tougher physical toil required to walk in the higher more rugged Ladakh and Zanskar Valleys. This is however still ‘high and dry’ mountain scenery; too high to be significantly effected by monsoon rains of lowland India.
