ADVENTURE & CULTURE TOUR
A Ladakhi Proverb; The land is so barren and the passes so high that only the best of friends or fiercest enemies would want to visit us.
Despite the arrival of plane-loads of tourists, Leh has managed to retain most of its charms. The people of ladakh have lived for centuries in barren, inhospitable terrain. Many people stay at leh, visit monasteries and enjoy barrenness. But we would like you to take you through some remote villages, monasteries of Ladakh with some sort of adventure. Our idea is to provide you a package with an amalgamation of culture, adventure & sightseeing in your short visit.
A visit to the village served as the capital city when Ladakh was temporarily divided in 15th century. The remains of temples & forts of that period reflects their brief glory. Few days of hiking takes you to the village of craftsmen producing best metal work of ladakh. When we enter the nomadic region of Karnak & Rupshu, we will hear the shrill calls of Ladakhi nomads herding their Pashm goats, sheep and yaks. And have salt-butter tea, fresh yogurt and dried apricots with the nomads, many of them old friends.

VALLEY OF ARYANS
This 08 days jeep tour allows you to explore the rich & diverse culture of Ladakh. The unique culture and amazing natural environment of Ladakh have drawn travelers to this region for centuries.
Downstream from KHALSI to the north-east of Leh along the lower Indus region is inhabited by a distinctive group of Dard people known as Brokpa. They have preserved their unique form of Buddhism, which is mixed with the pre-Buddhist animistic religion, BON. They are a fascinating people who are a very different from other Ladakhis, with their strong Aryan looks, language and clothing.
Apart from this you visit some of the famous monasteries on this side of Ladakh and visit a village, which is famous for producing some of the best metal work in Ladakh. The Monastery at Lamayuru is one of the most immediately striking in Ladakh. Its position on top of a beautifully eroded crag, complete with rock pinnacles and caves, gives it an almost fairy-tale quality as it stands over the small village below.
Alchi built in the 11th century is a treasure trove of early Buddhist art in the Kashmiri tradition. A style quite different from the Tibetan art found in Ladakh’s other monasteries.
Highlights:-
