Ladakh is one of the most serene and beautiful places in India. Situated in the northern part of Kashmir state, Ladakh is known for its tranquility, culture and monasteries. The Ladakh tour package will take you to the abode of clouds, Ladakh- the highest place in India. There are few places left in the world like Ladakh. It lies in the Great Himalayan rain shadow, so receives no monsoon during the summer, but hefty snowfall throughout its long (November- Late May) winter. In summer it is a high, arid fortress surrounded by vast peaks and trisected by the swift, snow- laden Indus and Zanskar rivers. The landscape resembles that of neighboring Tibet (This area is some times called “Little Libet”), as does the appearance of the people, their religion- devoutly Buddhist- and the magnificent monasteries perched imperiously on granite crags and steep hillsides. High and mighty though Ladakh is, it is easily approached either by flying directly to the capital Leh from Delhi (allow 3-4 days for acclimatization) or by road from Manali in Himachal Pradesh (a 02 days trip).
Ladakh- Land of Lamas: The centuries- old culture of Ladakh has found expression in its monuments, monasteries, oral literature, art forms, fairs and festivals. “The Land of Lamas” tour is designed as such that it covers the most ancient monasteries of Ladakh where you will see the rituals and way of life of Lamas and monastic institutions.
Ladakh- Cultural Tour: A tour focusing the Indus Valley and the cultural heritage of Ladakh.

You place questions before the oracle and also get healed.

Ladakh - Meditation Tour: This tour is specially tailored for the who are interested meditation. Meditation in Ladakh is a unique experience in itself. You will visit the caves of Mystical gurus who claimed to be doing the elevation through meditation. Some meditations are done purely in minus 45 Degree Celsius sitting on ice without any cloths. We shall be meditating with guidance of gurus in the Mahabodhi Meditation center in this tour.

Fairs & Festivals of Leh/Ladakh: The religious philosophy of Budhism, however profound and subtle doesn’t preclude an immense joiede-vivre among its Ladakhi adhe-rents, and even solemn religious enactment’s are made occasion for joyous celebrations. Many of the annual festivals of the gompas take places in winter, a relatively idle time for the majority of the people. They take the form of dance-dramas in the gompa courtyards. Lamas, robed in colorful garments and wearing often startlingly frightful masks, performs mimes representing various aspects of religion such as the progress of the individual soul and its purification or the triumph of good over evil.

Ladakh Adventure: There are few places left in the world like Ladakh. It lies in the great Himalayan rain shadow, so receives no monsoon during the summer, but hefty snowfall throughout its long (November-Late May) winter. In summer it is a high, arid fortress surrounded by vast peaks and trisected by the swift, snow-laden Indus and Zanskar rivers.
Ladakh Tour Packages: One of the most remote and mythical regions of India, Ladakh is a landscape of unearthly beauty. Carved through its center by the head waters of the Indus River, Ladakh sits high in a Himalayan valley between the Ladakh and Zaskar ranges, close to the Chinese border. The wall of the Himalayas blocks precipitation, and the resulting terrain is dry, barren, and poetically austere. Life here has remained virtually unchanged for thousands of years. Ladakh’s biggest attraction are its ancient gompas, or Buddhist monasteries, which contain some of Asia’s greatest wonders of gold and tapestry work. It is possible to stay overnight in some, making a trek in Ladakh curiously like a sort of pilgrimage. The people of Ladakh, many of whom are Tibetan refugees, are famous for their friendliness and hospitality.
