India and the Himalayas
10 Day The Tibetan Villages of Ladakh - From: $8,195
Trip Summary
Set between the Kunlun mountains and the Himalayas, the Indian region of Ladakh is famed for its remote alpine beauty and ancient culture. What "Little Tibet" lacks in population and rainfall, it more than makes up for in altitude - much of it over 9,800 feet. Trek through villages, meet the people and visit Buddhist monasteries and medieval temples.
To add an Indian wildlife safari component to your Ladakh trip, consider a trip extension to Kanha Tiger Reserve.
Highlights
- See majestic mountain scenery of the Himalayas
- Interact with local, traditional people in their villages
- Explore remote mountain villages on foot
