Description

A magnificent expedition into Himachal’s legendary "Yosemite of India", benchmarked against Potala Adventurers. Stretches 100 km from Udaipur toward the Kang La Glacier divide with Zanskar. Marvel at colossal vertical granite towers (Castle Peak, Lotus Tower) that draw world-class alpinists, stroll across flat valley floors blooming with rare Himalayan Blue Poppies, and immerse in authentic Buddhist Tharanga shepherd culture.

THE GLACIATED EXPEDITION ROUTE

Ascend through the raw Keylong and Darcha outpost, setting high camps along the formidable Milang Glacier moraine before confronting the summit ridge pyramid.

WILDERNESS SAFETY & AMS PROTOCOLS

Every batch is monitored with fingertip pulse oximeters twice daily, portable medical oxygen cylinders, Gamow hyperbaric protocol, and satellite communication checkpoints.

Capt. Siddharth R.

"The acclimatization schedule on Mulkila was calculated with extreme surgical precision. Our IMF certified lead captain was constantly checking SpO2 levels and snow anchors. Summit day felt safe despite the 55° ice wall. Best expedition outfit in the Himalayas."

Response from cravel.in Captain

Thank you Siddharth! Safety protocols and gradual altitude gain on the Milang Glacier are our absolute top priority.

Ananya Deshmukh

"Standing on the M4 pinnacle at 6,517m with the Spiti, Zanskar, and Pir Panjal massifs stretching into infinity was a spiritual experience. The Swiss shoreline tents and high-calorie nutrition were incredible for recovery."

Response from cravel.in Captain

Congratulations on summiting M4 Ananya! Our mountain chefs loved keeping the team fueled with warm nutritious meals.
