A Taste of Ladakh and Its Festivals

Short on time, but big on adventure - This trip is for you!

If you have limited time, want to enjoy the Himalayas and one of its most intact Buddhist cultures, this short summer excursion to Ladakh is for you. After a day in Delhi, you fly across the sky, touching mountains into Leh, the capital of Ladakh, or Little Tibet. Here you spend a week visiting the different monasteries and participating in one of the many summer festivals.
