Journey to the “Roof of the World” on this extraordinary cultural adventure through the dramatic landscapes of Ladakh. Nestled between the Himalayas and the Karakoram ranges, Ladakh is a place of stark beauty, ancient monasteries, and warm-hearted people who live life at over 11,000 feet above sea level.
From the historic town of Leh to the tranquil Indus Valley and the enchanting Nubra and Pangong regions, this is India at its most awe-inspiring. Witness the confluence of rivers, visit centuries-old Buddhist monasteries, and experience the serenity of high-altitude deserts, snow-capped peaks and sapphire lakes.
You’ll have time to pause and absorb it all — from sipping butter tea in a remote monastery to wandering through vibrant bazaars or simply sitting under the clearest skies imaginable, watching the stars unfold across the Milky Way.
Travel with a small group in comfort, at an unhurried pace, allowing time to acclimatise and enjoy the journey. This is a rare opportunity to explore one of the most beautiful and spiritually rich regions of India, led by our trusted local team.
