Glimpses of Ladakh
Leh, Shanti Stupa, the old palace and the near monasteries — the short introduction, taken gently for altitude.

Ladakh · little Tibet
Buddha's land, on the edge of the Tibetan plateau.
Set deep in the Indian Himalayas — high passes, salt lakes the colour of glass, and monasteries that have kept the same hours for six hundred years.
We drive it the old way — over the Zoji La, from our own valley.
Most operators fly you in and hope the altitude behaves. We can do that too — but the Srinagar–Kargil–Leh road is one of the great drives on earth, and it acclimatises you as it goes.
Inner-line permits, oxygen, drivers who have run these passes for twenty seasons, and stays chosen for warmth rather than star ratings.
