Ladakh

A high-altitude desert on the Tibetan Plateau — monasteries, passes above 5,000m, and landscapes that don't look real until you're standing in them.

3,500m+Base altitude — acclimatization built into every itinerary
May–SepMain travel window; Chadar trek runs Jan–Feb

Altitude is the whole game here. We plan around it.

More Ladakh trips go wrong from altitude than from anything else — rushing from the airport straight to Khardung La is how a good trip turns into a bad one. Every itinerary we build starts with acclimatization days in Leh before climbing further, whether you're headed to Nubra, Pangong, or into Zanskar.

We run the Zanskar River rafting circuit and the winter Chadar trek as part of our regular season, alongside the standard Leh–Nubra–Pangong loop.

Which of these five is calling you?
