Multi-Activity Adventure in Ladakh
Ladakh is the eastern-most extension of the Tibetan plateau and is rightly called “little Tibet”. With an average altitude of more than 3,000m, Ladakh’s inaccessibility and harsh environment has ensured that its unique character has been preserved for centuries and the region is one of the last remaining abodes of Tibetan Buddhism.
This adventure offers a good mix of activities around Leh, the capital of Ladakh. Combined with an overnight trek staying at a Ladakhi home stay for a night, the trip also includes a rafting trip on the Zanskar river and a biking trip in picturesque environs of the Stok village. Highlights include visiting the famous Shey Palace & the Thiksey monasteries. One can also extend the adventure by doing excursions to Pangong Lake, Nubra Valley or to the Tsomorori Tsokar circuit.
