Venture into the heart of Ladakh, a remote region ringed by the Himalaya and home to Tantric Buddhists, medieval traditions and tiny oasis towns. Trek through snow-strewn landscapes, explore monasteries and forts and get an insight into local life on a village homestay. Challenging and charming Ladakh is sure to impress.
Take in Leh at a sedate pace - the altitude is quite extreme and with such a relaxed vibe, there is no need to rush. Set against the Himalaya and overlooking the crumbling Old Town is Leh Palace. Take a guided walking tour of the town to visit the palace, the old quarter and Victory Peak.
Gaze at the newly restored bodhisattvas and celestial beings at Basgo Palace en route to Likir. Walk to the 11th century Klu-kkhyil Gompa to see prayer rooms full of statues and a museum containing religious objects made from human bones.
Trek through tiny villages and over high passes with magical views of the surrounding Himalayan valleys. Spend the night in a local friend's house, discover traditional Ladakhi meals and visit a crumbling ruined fort.
Drive to Lamayuru and discover the ancient legends among its bizarre moonscape of wind-ravaged towers and ravines. Visit the 10th century Lamayuru Gompa, the oldest in Ladakh, rising out of the high cliffs as though born of them.
Spend a full day of sightseeing at Shey Palace, Thiksey, Hemis Monastery and Stok Palace Museum, stopping for lunch along the way. Back in Leh, seek out a rooftop cafe to relax, enjoy the deep blue of the sky and celebrate an incredible journey.
