All About It
Welcome to Ladakh.
We've developed a compact 8-day itinerary, which, to us, is the minimum period of time needed to get a glimpse of the region.
Unlike other destinations in the country, what makes overland journeys in Ladakh special is the sheer breadth of landscapes that you will witness from every angle.
This itinerary is well-balanced and flexible, with a mix of active holidaying and relaxation.
Enjoy the hospitality of genuine Ladakhi hosts as you journey through a land of unending lakes, mountain passes, and Buddhist culture.
