A thirteen-day trek through one of Himachal Pradesh’s most remote and beautiful valleys — from Barsheni to Mantalai Lake at 4,100 metres.

A day in the Parvati Valley with Keval, a young Gaddi shepherd — fire, chai, and a landscape that belongs to someone else entirely.

Lost among the boulders at 3,900 metres on the way back to camp, with a growing headache, rain coming in, and no sight of the tents.
