Overview

About Leh Ladakh

Ladakh is a stark, beautiful high desert between the Karakoram and the Himalaya. Brilliant blue lakes, whitewashed monasteries and some of the world’s highest motorable passes make it India’s ultimate adventure destination.

Every itinerary starts with acclimatisation in Leh before heading to Nubra Valley’s dunes and the ever-changing colours of Pangong Tso.
