Snow drive trips

Snow Drive Trips: The Department of Tourism and Civil Aviation in Himachal Pradesh, in association with the stakeholders and other groups, will organise the Snow Marathon in the remote but picturesque Lahaul Valley, a cold desert dotted by tiny helmets spread over the Himalayan peaks in the state.

A spokesperson for the Tourism Department said on Saturday the third edition of the open Snow Marathon will be held in four categories -- 42 km, 21 km, 10 km and 5 km -- at an average altitude of 11,000 feet on March 10.

To experience winter adventure, a ‘Joy Race’ of 1 km will be an added attraction.
