Ladakh lies at altitudes ranging between 2750 metres up to 7672 metres, and is surrounded by two of the most majestic mountain ranges in the world; the Himalayas and the Karakoram. This remote and unspoiled area of India offers travellers an unbeatable trekking experience that will never be forgotten.

Ladakh is a beautiful region of India, renowned for its remote mountain beauty, tranquillity and culture. Often referred to as ‘Little Tibet’, Ladakh has been strongly influenced by the Tibetan way of life. This high altitude desert misses the rainy monsoon shielded by the surrounding mountain ranges. During the months of June and September when the rest of the country experiences torrential rain, Ladakh reopens its mountain passes and treks. This is the best time to visit the region, as the weather is much milder than the rest of the year. Ladakh remains snow-laden for almost nine months of the year, and the sub-arctic temperatures in mid-winter can be too cold for comfort. Many of the trekking paths close in the winter as the snow gets too high and fierce. There are several different trekking routes available to suit all experience and fitness levels.
