The land of high passes
Moon-like landscapes, cobalt lakes, ancient monasteries and some of the highest motorable roads on earth — an adventure like nowhere else.
Why travellers love Ladakh
Moon-like landscapes, cobalt lakes, ancient monasteries and some of the highest motorable roads on earth — an adventure like nowhere else. Plan around May – September for the best weather, and allow 6 – 9 days to see it properly.
Ladakh - "the land of high passes" - is a high-altitude cold desert in the Indian Trans-Himalaya, framed by the Karakoram and Zanskar ranges. Moonlike landscapes, turquoise lakes, Buddhist monasteries and some of the world's highest motorable roads make it a bucket-list journey.
Highlights
- Leh - Leh Palace, Shanti Stupa, Thiksey and Hemis monasteries.
- Nubra Valley - sand dunes, double-humped Bactrian camels and the world's highest motorable pass, Khardung La.
- Pangong Tso - a 134 km lake that shifts from blue to green to grey through the day.
- Sangam & Magnetic Hill - the confluence of the Indus and Zanskar rivers.
Acclimatisation: Leh is at 11,500 ft; every itinerary begins with a rest day. Permits: Inner Line Permits for Nubra and Pangong are arranged by us.
