This trek is one of the most varied and beautiful treks in the world. It ventures high into the Himalayas crossing two 15,000+ ft passes as it circles from the edges of the Indus Valley, down into parts of Zanskar, through narrow valleys and vast expanses, along trails marked by elaborate chortens and mani walls, rewarded by views of jagged snow-capped peaks, and ending at the famous Hemis Monastery. Also included is time in Delhi and Leh.

Cut off from travellers for decades, this incredible valley, abutting the towering eastern Karakoram range and site of the Siachen Glacier, is now open for exploration. We offer a 3-day jeep-safari over the highest road in the world (18,380ft) as an extension to our Ladakh trips.

This trip explores two of the most spectacular and varied regions of the Indian Himalayas: the lush Kashmir Valley and the high desert plateau of Ladakh, known as “Little Tibet”. Also included is time in Delhi and a visit to the Taj Mahal. The trip offers a comprehensive look at two very different central Asian societies: Muslim Kashmir and Buddhist Ladakh.
