Seamless travel, every detail perfected.

The Himalayas are the youngest and tallest god-made structures in this world. Just the thought of traveling to such a place could give you goosebumps. To the extreme north, just beyond the Himalayas lies a land of high passes called "Ladakh", which is bounded by two mountain ranges - Himalayas & Karakoram. Spectacularly protruding, arid mountains enfold this magical Buddhist ex-kingdom. The awe-inspiring gompas (Buddhist monasteries) dramatically crown rocky outcrops amid whitewashed stupas and Ladakhi local mud-houses.

This trip to Ladakh all by road is a true adventure and fun. The idea is to take you to heaven called Ladakh, not at once but just step by step. You will travel through one of the highest roads in the world to one of the most inaccessible places in the world. The road-journey itself is going to surge up your adrenaline high enough. On one side of the road, you will see barren rocks & cliffs standing upright, and on another side, you will see a deep & steep gorge with a fast-flowing violent river at the bottom. This trip will keep you on the edge of the seat throughout!
