Beyond The Himalayas

15 days Delhi to Leh

Trip Code: AHBH

Delhi, Manid, Manali, Whisky Nallah, Tanglang La, Hemis, Shey, Leh

Ladakh's remote and breathtaking high-altitude landscape appeals to adventure travellers. Here the forces of nature have conspired to render a magical realist landscape of extremes; desert and blue waters, burning sun and freezing winds, glaciers and sand dunes. Until recently untouched by the western world, Tibetan-style traditions and culture remain apparent.
