The adventure
Set against the backdrop of the world’s highest peaks, Ladakh feels like another planet — where desert dunes meet turquoise lakes and monasteries crown hilltops. Over 8 days, wander the historic streets of Leh, cross dizzying mountain passes into Nubra Valley, and stargaze by Pangong Lake. Along the way, connect with Ladakhi families through immersive homestays and discover a culture shaped by resilience, spirituality, and breathtaking landscapes.
Welcome to Ladakh, one of the most naturally beautiful regions of India. Leh sits at 3500m elevation, so arrive at any time and take it slow today to acclimate to the the high elevation.
Dive head first into historic Leh today on a tour of the Old City. Learn about its unique connection to Tibet as you wander the narrow, winding streets. Then continue to the Central Asian Museum to learn about Ladakh's connection to the Silk Road. Enjoy the beauty of the town with an evening visit to Thiksey Monastery and the Shanti Stupa. Tonight, opt to join an astronomy experience with local women of Leh.
Drive across one of the highest motorways in the world as we head to Nubra Valley. On the way, visit the colourful Diskit Monastery, the incredible Sumur Sand Dunes and connect with local Ladakhi culture at the Kyagar House.
