Darma Valley Panchachuli Experience
Tour Details
Darma is located in the Kumaon region of Uttarakhand, India. It’s close to the India-Tibet border and offers breathtaking views of the snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas. Darma Valley is one of the most beautiful valleys in the Himalayas, situated at the base of the Panchachuli peaks. It's similar to Ladakh and Spiti, yet still an offbeat and splendid destination.
