Himalayan Jeep Safari

We often tend to believe that a trip to the Himalayas is only for those who are supremely fit and agile and rest of us, the lesser mortals, have no chance whatsoever to do anything that can even remotely be called an adventure tour. We also ten to think that the only thing that you can do in the Himalayan region is scale its peaks and if you are not a mountaineer, you have no business to be in the Himalayas. But the truth, in fact, is far from it as anybody with a desire to travel off the beaten track in the Himalayas can go for a Himalayan Jeep Safari. It's just that you should be aware of the place you are going to and know the pros and cons of it. Once you are through with the preparation, you can just launch yourself into the safari wholeheartedly and just go with the broad framework in which you have planned your trip. Some of the most popular regions for the Jeep Safaris are Lahaul and Spiti, Ladakh, Kinnaur, Garhwal and Kumaon. Sometimes the jeep safaris throw open some of the most unusual of tourism destinations which were not known to other tourists and even tour operators.

The Perfect Conveyance in Himalayas
A jeep is the perfect conveyance for you in the Himalayas as it can easily withstand these rugged and exciting terrains in the mighty heights of the Himalayas. The jeeps take you right into the heart of the Himalayas while going through the most difficult of terrains, some of the highest of passes, close to many glaciers and some exceedingly beautiful high altitude lakes. Through jeeps you can explore areas which you would otherwise reach only after days of trekking.


Jeep Safaris in the Trans Himalayan Region
The trans Himalayan regions which are an arid high altitude desert are ideal to wake up the explorer within you. The mountains which are sculpted by forces of nature provide the right environment to keep you on the edge of your seats. The areas which you can visit during this safari are Ladakh, Zanskar, Lahaul and Spiti Valley and the surrounding areas. For example, if you are visiting Leh, then the visit to Pangong lake is a must. Let us assure you, all your cameras are going to be overworked throughout this tour.

» Pangung Tso Lake : There is very sparse habitation in the region and very little transport. You will not be allowed by the army to stay here for more than couple of hours.

» Tso Moriri Lake : Since there is no public transport to this place, the only way you can visit here is through a jeep safari, though the landscape is more than worth the effort.


Jeep Safaris in Uttaranchal
The Kumaon and Garhwal regions offer some of the most spectacular Jeep Safari opportunities, for the beauty of the place would compel you to explore the areas that others previously thought were out of bounds.

» Garhwal and Kumaon : Uttaranchal is special for the tourists, as the region is spellbinding till the last kilometre. Kumaon is somewhat easier for the jeep safaris whereas Garhwal poses more of a challenge for the adventurers.


Things to Keep in Mind
First things first, you must always be accompanied by careful drivers so that they can negotiate difficult roads through streams or steep tracks easily. Other necessities are a kitchen crew to provide you good quality meals and a guide who knows the mountains inside out.
