On this exhilarating journey to India's north we encounter hill resorts and magnificent mountain vistas dominated by gorges, cliffs, plateaus and rugged peaks of the Zanskar, Ladakh and Karakoram ranges. This Ladakh tour offers lush green barley fields, and willow and poplar groves of the well irrigated valleys that offer great contrast to this wild scenery. A journey that covers villages composed of anything from a few houses to more than one hundred, set in emerald oases and monasteries that have their own set of codes to comply with. In short this trip offers you a place that has been a home to a thriving culture for more than one thousand years.
