Suggested Tailor Made Itinerary
Discover Ladakh, Leh to Manali by Jeep - 17 days
India
The diminutive and remote Kingdom of Ladakh, perched high in its own mountain range between the mighty Karakoram and Himalaya, is politically part of India, though emphatically Tibetan in appearance. The capital, Leh, stands at 3400m, crowned by the imposing ruined palace of the former royal dynasty. The surrounding barren hills form an unusual moonscape dotted with gompa (monasteries) and refreshingly green irrigated valleys.
There is plenty to do and see here, from visiting the colourful gompa (especially vibrant at festival time during July and August) to the bustling markets in Leh. Though you arrive by air, we have incorporated a four-day drive out (rigorous but essential for the true adventurer), which will take you from Leh via the Zanskar Highway to the forested hills and orchards of the Kulu Valley, before returning by air to Delhi.
