Parang La trek is a strenuous high-altitude trail connecting southeastern Ladakh to Spiti over Parang La (5600 m/18370 ft). This wide glaciated pass is itself in Spiti, Himachal Pradesh and the traditional trade route between Spiti, Changthang and Tibet. The trail is a true Trans Himalayan starting from Zanskar range and reaching to Great Himalayan range. Certainly, this is an incredible journey of a lifetime for the experienced hikers.
