Itineraries: Frozen River Trek in Zanskar
WideAware -- Jun 24, 2008
Leh, the capital of the
Ladakh region of India is a great starting point for a mild to moderate trek through the Indus Valley. If time permits it is a good idea for hikers and trekkers of all skill levels to acclimate themselves when newly arrived in the country. A tour of the city is a great way to do this.

Itineraries: THE LEFT BANK PLATEU HABITATS ( including Kibber Wildlife Sanctuary )
WideAware -- Jan 21, 2007
Kibber
Wildlife sanctuary is spread over an area of about 1400 sq km and is segregated in an outer buffer zone and an inner “protected area”. It is the only sanctuary in the country which is situated in a cold desert area. There are about 13 villages situated outside the periphery of the sanctuary. There are three monasteries -
Ki, Tangyud and Dhankar on the periphery of the protected area. The buffer zone does contain a few dwellings called “dogris” and a grazing reserve for livestock. For a high altitude desert the flora that is found here is quite amazing. KWS is home to a variety of rare animals like the Ibex, blue sheep, red fox, Tibetian woolly hare, Tibetian wolf, lynx, pika, Tibetian wild ass - and the majestic but elusive snow leopard. The sanctuary also offers a great view of the region's peaks Chau-cahu khanamo & Chau-chau khang nilda.
Itineraries: Cultural Experience - SPITI
WideAware -- Jan 21, 2007
This tour takes you into the very heart of Spiti into a world where rich hearts flourish in barren land. As usual, Wide Aware makes it a point to give you a tour that goes into the very essence of the land, rather than a visit of significant locations only. This tour not only shows you the highlights of Spiti Valley, but give you an experience of being part of the land, and following your interests like other inhabitants in the valley. We will see world famous monasteries, hunt for fossils, dance the local dances, eat the local food, stay in their homes, witness an exotic tantric ceremony, look at the local breeding grounds of the famous Spiti horses and explore this place to our heart's content. If you want a hurried tour that gives you a summary of the valley, this is not it. If you'd like to marinate yourself in the place, so that it feels like a home, you're in the right place.
Itineraries: Adventure and Experiential learning camp
WideAware -- Dec 26, 2006
A very effective option in student camps is to combine experiential learning with 5-7 day adventure introduction programmes and utilize their introductory experiences in various adventure sports as activities that are reviewed. This not only gives the benefit of a longer duration of a programme and helps the learnings become more concrete, but also enhances their adventure experiences and training. A definite win-win situation.
