Ladakh, the silver monasteries and the high plateau.

Nineteen plates of Ladakh — Leh's old town and Stok Palace, the great gompas of Hemis, Thiksey and Lamayuru, the apricot orchards of Nubra and Sumur, the high-altitude Changthang of Pangong, Tso Moriri and Hanle, the Aryan Valley of Dah and Hanu, hidden Phuktal and Sumda Chun. Acclimatisation protocols, oxygen vehicles, restricted-area permits and Changpa nomad introductions all arranged.

Frequently asked questions

When is the best season to visit Ladakh?

May to early October when high passes and lakes are open, with June-September the most reliable. Winter (Jan-Feb) is for the Chadar trek on the frozen Zanskar — extreme but unforgettable.

Do I need permits for Ladakh?

Indian nationals need an Inner Line Permit for Pangong, Nubra, Tso Moriri, Hanle, Dah-Hanu and the Changthang. Foreigners need a Protected Area Permit for the same regions. We obtain both for our guests in advance.

How does altitude work — should I worry?

Leh sits at 3,500m and most of our routes go higher. We build in two days of acclimatisation in Leh before any high-altitude travel, carry pulse oximeters and supplemental oxygen in every vehicle, and pace each day to your tolerance.

Which Ladakh itinerary do you recommend first-time?

The Silver Monasteries, our 12-night signature journey: Leh, Hemis, Thiksey, Lamayuru, Nubra Valley, Pangong, Tso Moriri and Hanle. Pricing on enquiry — composed around your dates and party.
