In the heart of the himalayas
This Indian region, nestled in the Himalayas, offers a variety of landscapes and wide-open spaces simply waiting to be explored. Interspersed with dizzyingly high summits, reaching up to 8,000m, Ladakh is spread out across magnificent lunar landscapes
and deep valleys, carved out by erosion
From Tibetan monasteries perched in the mountains to small remote villages set in the valleys, visiting Ladakh is a journey back in time which we invite you to experience in an original way.
