About Ladakh
High passes, monasteries and a cold desert
Ladakh is a high altitude desert at over 11,000 feet, where Buddhist monasteries sit above the valleys and the roads cross some of the highest motorable passes in the world. Every one of our Ladakh packages spends time in and around Leh, at Shanti Stupa and Leh Palace, before heading north over Khardung La to the sand dunes and monasteries of Nubra Valley.
Discover Ladakh adds the Sham valley monasteries, Magnetic Hill and a night at Pangong Lake. Exotic Ladakh with Turtuk visits Turtuk, a Balti village on the Pakistan border, before Pangong. Best of Leh-Ladakh spends two nights in Nubra with a day trip to Turtuk. Classic Leh-Ladakh With Srinagar is the road route: it starts in Srinagar, crosses the Zojila Pass to Kargil and reaches Leh through Mulbekh and Lamayuru.
