Package Overview

This tour provides a grand introduction to Ladakhi landscape, its culture and Tibetan influence. It is a vast high-altitude desert with stunning mountain panoramas. The itinerary incorporates an easy trek through beautiful landscapes dotted with villages and monasteries for a closer and better understanding of their rugged people and culture.

We start the trip with a flight (that puts us into ecstasy with the overhead view of the vast Himalayan Range with snow-capped peaks beckoning us with their glare) from Delhi to Leh (3,500m), the capital of Ladakh, where we spend two days visiting monasteries in the Indus Valley and paying a short visit to Shey School. The trek starts from Taru, a small village close to Leh, and crosses Taru La, a pass at 4200m and crossing the deserted plateau, ends with the descent from the pass of Bong-Bong la, Khalsi. While trekking we pass many Ladakhi Villages where we observe the traditional way of life, still unchanged here for centuries. This part of the Himalaya offers lofty snow-clad peaks, the wild and barren hillsides of this high altitude desert and the pretty green villages in the valleys which spring to life in the summer when the crops are grown after the long harsh winter. The mysteries of Buddhism, the friendliness of the people and the smiles of the children of the high Himalayan valleys certainly leave us with unforgettable memories. Continuing our journey we fly back to Delhi and drive direct to Agra to see the Taj Mahal, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, and then to the capital city of Rajasthan, Jaipur.
