What do we say?
With Spiti Ecosphere your trekking, rafting and biking adventures in the Himalayas could hardly get more grass routes, authentic and locally beneficial. Stunning scenery, remote mountain camps, homestays in Himalayan villages, fully trained local guides. Simply, if you want to visit Spiti and the Northern Himalayas near Tibet, you can't do it any better than this.
Through their eco adventures Ecosphere aim to create sustainable livelihoods linked to conservation for all the residents of the Spiti valley. To call this innovative project a lesson in responsible travel would be an understatement.
