Ladakh Holidays

Ladakh, 'land of high passes', is a starkly beautiful high-altitude desert streaked with turquoise glacial lakes, fast flowing rivers flanked by lush green valleys and framed by snow capped mountains - the Himalayas to the south and Karakorums to the north. This cinematic region of India has a culture and history that is closely related to that of Tibet. On Ladakh holidays you can see fluttering prayer flags as you hike up rocky outcrops and admire the intricate murals and golden Buddhas enclosed within remote gompas (Tibetan temples). Lace up your hiking boots and let your feet carry you to the spectacular monasteries of Hemis, Lamayuru or Thikse, to Leh, regional capital, or to the shores of the Indus (one of Asia’s longest rivers) or Lake Pangong.
