I’d not heard of the Indian Himalaya until now. Where is it?
People often think first of Nepal when they hear ‘Himalaya’, but there is a massive Indian Himalaya which is a westerly continuation of the 2,500 kilometre range once it passes through Nepal and Tibet. Spiti, Kinnaur, Himachal Pradesh, Ladakh, Leh, Zanskar are all names you will become familiar with. You will find unsullied Tibetan Buddhism and the total contrast of the Hindu culture. It is an area physically and spiritually in tune with Tibet and Nepal rather than the great plains of India and is an India pretty much hidden away from the rest of the world. In that, lies its appeal.
