Miyar Valley is about 35 km from Udaipur. This valley is very remote and fairly inaccessible to outside world in comparison to other offbeat places and tourist destinations in Lahaul & Spiti. Being a remote location, this valley is bliss to off-roaders. From open green meadows to the stark brown alpine rocks of Zanskar, the whole route is so beautiful. After spending a few hours there, drive back to Tandi for overnight stay.
