Ultimate Himalayan 4×4 Circuit
Embark on one of India’s most iconic high-altitude odysseys—an immersive 17-day journey that takes you from the cedar forests of Shimla through the rugged valleys of Kinnaur, the dramatic moonscapes of Spiti, the glacier-fed passes of Lahaul, and the lush green belt of Manali–Kullu, before ascending again into the serene monasteries and barren grandeur of Dharamshala–Dalhousie and finally the mighty trans-Himalayan corridor to Leh.
Designed specifically with the Maruti Jimny in mind, this route blends smooth highways with demanding off-road climbs, black-ice curves, rock patches, river crossings, and legendary passes like Kunzum La, Baralacha La, Nakee La, Lachung La, Tagslang La, and more. Each day includes clear notes on terrain, refuelling points, and ideal 4H/4L usage to keep the drive safe, efficient, and adventure-ready.
Across ~2,200 km, you’ll navigate snow zones, high deserts, pine valleys, cliff roads, blue lakes, and some of the world’s highest motorable terrain—culminating in a cinematic arrival in Leh, where the journey ends amid ancient palaces and panoramic Himalayan horizons.
This is not just a road trip—it’s a complete Himalayan traverse built for explorers, photographers, off-roaders, and anyone seeking the most diverse and unforgettable 4×4 experience India offers.
