Beyond Time and Terrain in Ladakh

This thoughtfully designed 10-day walking holiday takes you on an immersive journey through Ladakh’s awe-inspiring landscapes, ancient villages, and vibrant cultural heritage. The adventure begins in Nimmu, a peaceful oasis of apricot and apple orchards, where you’ll acclimatize while enjoying heritage hospitality. From here, a scenic drive takes you to Chilling, home to Ladakh’s last remaining coppersmiths, where you’ll witness traditional metalwork before embarking on a riverside hike.

Walking through the remote Tar Village, you’ll gain insight into Ladakhi mountain life, followed by an unforgettable journey to Nubra Valley via the legendary Khardung La Pass (5,360m). Explore Sumur’s sand dunes, hike to sacred Lohan Tso Lake, and uncover ancient petroglyphs at Murgi Rockfield. The adventure continues with hikes to 7th-century forts, remote monasteries, and the high-altitude wilderness of Khaspang before winding down in Leh’s old town, where history, culture, and local flavors bring this extraordinary journey to a perfect close.
