Winter Wildlife Excursion FD Winter Wildlife Excursion Chandigarh - Rampur - Tabo - Dhankar - Kaza - Key - Khibber - Chicham - Langza - Hikkim - Komic - Rampur - Chandigarh Chapter 1: 7th till 14th March A little bit about Spiti Valley Spiti valley, also known as the “Middle Land” is a Trans-Himalayan terrain bordering with Tibet at an average altitude of 4000 meters. Spiti valley is home to some of the oldest monasteries in the Himalayan region like Tabo monastery, Dhankar monastery, Sherkhang monastery and Kye monastery, strong hold of Buchen Lamas in Pin Valley, famous for Tibetan medicine system and Amchis, fossils of Langza village, highest motorable villages and passes, scenic lakes, a 1000 year old culture, tough life, beautiful villages and people and out of this world landscape. Come and explore with us as we travel to a civilisation frozen in time. Spiti Fixed Departures have been planned in a way that you explore Spiti like a local and at a pace that helps you acclimatise and enjoy at the same time. In Spiti Valley the two most popular locations where you can spot wildlife is inside the Khibber Wildlife Sanctuary and the Pin Valley National Park. We will be tracking wildlife in the Khibber Wildlife Sanctuary. Amongst all the wildlife in Spiti Valley, the Snow Leopard is the most elusive and its accurate population numbers are hard to come by. Although estimates range from 450 to 500 individuals for India making them even more unique. (Source: WWF - India) While spotting a snow leopard is many a times a matter of sheer luck, while on the trail, you are sure to get a lot of insight into the life and habits of this marvellous creature. In the process you will also spot some great Himalayan treasures like the Blue Mountain Goat or Ibex, the Red Fox and some species of high altitude birds. A journey worth taking for a once-in-a-lifetime experience. A little bit about Winters in Spiti - It gets very cold in winter i.e. December through February with temperatures hitting - 30C. You will need to be mentally and physically fit and must have done some high altitude travel in order to be able to handle travelling through this terrain. - All hotels and guest houses will be shut at the time and you will only get homestays which have dry eco friendly squatting toilets. You will need to be okay with this as wet toilets are not available due to water lines freezing. - Because of the water lines freezing, the locals need to carry the water from a nearby water source and hence having a bath while you are in Spiti will not be possible. - In peak winter i.e. January and early February all the places might not be open due to adverse weather conditions. We will keep you updated of the same in case any last minute changes need to be made to your plan. - Winter time is off season in Spiti, and you will not have many options in terms of activities, and because of the cold, you won’t be able to move around as much and will end up spending time in the homestay. We recommend travellers to make the most of the situation, and turn their time at the homestay as of getting to know more about Spitian life, food and culture. - Because of winter, there will not be many options in terms of food and in a homestay you will need to be understanding and eat the hearty but basic food that your hosts provide. - Be prepared to be understanding and flexible, as we can make last minute plan changes due to bad weather for your safety and wellbeing. Basic Details Trip Duration: 7 Nights and 8 days Cost: INR 23000 per person (exclusive of GST) There is no single occupancy available for this trip.

  • A Run on Toilet Paper
    A Run on Toilet Paper Yes, there is a pun intended in the title. Among the phenomena demonstrated by consumers throughout the “civilized” world during the coronavirus pandemic was panic buying and hoarding. That would be understandable when it comes to medical supplies such as personal protective equipment (PPE), sanitizers and OTC medicine. But one item loomed large – toilet paper, sometimes euphemistically called bathroom tissue or loo roll. There were even fights over it. I put together a short list of information which I passed around, more in levity than seriousness. In these uncertain times, we could use a little stress reducer. Little did I know that columnists from major newspapers were already thinking of issuing columns devoted to toilet paper. A psychologist even expounded on the phenomenon of hoarding, using toilet paper as an example. We’ll get to these subjects later. First, here’s my enhanced list, which I originally emailed on March 21: • The first people to use toilet paper were the Chinese. After all, they invented paper, didn't they? But paper was a valued product, so only the elites used it. • The Romans had communal toilets. After doing their business, they used a sponge on a stick, one sponge per toilet. You were supposed to rinse the sponge off off every time. • Toilet paper in the U.S. is a $13 Billion business. That is more than the combined revenue of all 30 Major league baseball teams. • Now, to answer the question you always wanted to ask; the average person uses 9 sheets per trip.
