Kinnaur - Via Larsa We (5275m) to Spiti
Hi to all Kinnaur-lovers...
 a German couple crossed this hidden pass from Kinnaur to Spiti last autumn! My congratulations to Josl and Katharina! We'll collect some informations and pictures in our German and English spoken forum: http://trekkingforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10679 http://img175.imageshack.us/img175/9...thangacag4.jpg We've heard that in 2005 a party of Bengali peoples also crossed the Larsa We successful. Are they "IndiaMiker's" or know someone these trekker's? Let's publish here all available informations too...  AndreasW trekkingforum.com Last edited by machadinha : Jan 9th, 2008 at 23:28.

I was in Kinnaur in 2003 looking for the different ways to walk into spiti, however the sutlej flash flood ended my trip prematurely.
Looking forward to the details of the trail. Cheers Just saw the post. The pair has followed exactly the same book I was following - Exploring Kinnaur Spiti in the Trans Himalayas. thats one of the best books you can buy on this region. And cheap too! I am glad they made it. I think I need to re-visit the place soon!  Cheers Last edited by machadinha : Jan 9th, 2008 at 23:29. Reason: merged posts |

no more info...

In early October, if there is no fresh snowfall, it may turn out to be a normal (but cold) trek. From what we have gathered, its difficult to find a guide for this particular trek, coz even the locals do not frequent this route. . |

Guide for the Trail
Yes, one need some extra effort to find guide for the Pass. One of my porter ([Bhim] presently at Janglikh village) for Buran Pass trek used to work at Asrang Village as farm labourer. He is a migrant Nepali worker. Last year (or last to last year i don't remember exactly) he went on the Larsa-we trail as porter with some group. He tells there are few people at Asrang who know the way.
Though it is not an often taken trail, yet required details about Larsa-we pass is manageable. It's just that none of us here have first hand information about it. Those seriously planning for Larsa-we pass just need to park themselves for about a day at Asrang and do some bit of research and hunting in this direction. |
