Programs General information Rates

Southeast of Leh this high altitude cold desert is the western extension of the Tibetan Plateau. Previously closed to visitors, this region offers some of the most amazing scenery to be found in Ladakh. It is a land of monasteries and high passes, dissected by numerous mountain ridges and traversed by a number of ancient trading routes. We will venture in a mineral wilderness where only a few nomads live, totally reliant on their yak and sheep herds for their subsistence. The all prevailing Buddhist influence mixed with the "animistic Bon" religion and their Tibetan features lends them a distinct look belonging to medieval times. To be invited into their camp for a rest and a cup of salt and butter tea provides an insight into another world, completely removed from our own. This trek will particularly attract those who want to get off the beaten track and meet the utmost secret Ladakh.
