Tandi Riverside: A Green Confluence

Located near the historic meeting point of the Chandra and Bhaga rivers, this campsite near Tandi is a refreshing anomaly in the rugged Lahaul landscape. Sheltered by lush green trees, it offers a rare, shaded sanctuary right on the banks of the Chandrabhaga River.

Natural Resources & Logistics

The Stream: In addition to the river, a small freshwater stream flows through the site. It is perfect for general use like washing up, though you should filter or boil any water used for drinking.

The "Humble Request" Rule: Always find a local resident and ask for camping permission in a humble tone before pitching your tent. The Lahauli community is incredibly welcoming to travelers who show genuine respect for their land.

Strategic Stop: Since Tandi hosts the last fuel station for a long stretch, this is the perfect spot to set up camp while you prep for the haul toward Leh or the Pangi Valley.

Preserve the Oasis

Leave No Trace: To keep this green oasis pristine, keep the site clean and respect nature. Pack out every bit of trash—from plastic wrappers to food waste.

Protect the Water: Avoid using soaps or chemicals directly in the stream or river to maintain the purity of the local water system.

Pro-Tip: The wind at the river confluence can pick up in the late afternoon. Use the natural tree line as a windbreak for your tent or vehicle to ensure a quieter, warmer night under the stars!
