A Night Under The Stars

A guiding light, a map stitched in the sky to navigate direction on the Silk Route, the stars of ancient Ladakh ignited the route ahead… Today astronomy in Ladakh has returned for stargazers and dreamers alike, as every half moon night we pull out our observational skills and contemplate the galaxies.

Camp under a sprawling umbrella of constellations, listening to their histories, mythical origins and the sheer wonders of their dancing movements in relation to the earth, beside a cozy campfire and barbecue in tow.

Mountain Biking

Cycle along the rustic countryside, racing the Indus and halting on bridges, listening to the fluttering prayer flags wielded in the wind. Ribbon your way through the villages of Ladakh, with no destination in mind, tyres treading the jagged terrain…

As you explore Ladakh through these raw tracks, the land will become a close acquaintance in no time, revealing to you the quiet tricks of a cold dessert.

Take a Hike

The unyielding wilderness, the vast, spatial valleys of Ladakh are amidst the highest, harshest and most humbling in the world. A mere speck, amidst a sea of mountains through which you can find hiking trails that are a days journey, exempting you from a time crunch in your itinerary.

Spot wildlife, drink water fresh out of a stream, learn about the wild plants, all on a days hike that will take you through the lunar landscape.

Sacred Arts, Timeless Traditions

A land of Thangka painters, prolific potters and immaculate copper-smiths, art and tradition weave together a timeless tapestry of craftsmanship in Ladakh. Life here has integrated art into everyday life, as handcrafted products are made both for daily and decorative use.

From the quiet, inner-workings of a local goldsmith to the processing of pashmina… Get insight into the ancient arts that have paved the way for contemporary culture.

Rock Climbing

Our genetic tree is rooted in the art of climbing. We channel this art fearlessly as children, climbing trees, springing from branch to branch, shooting straight for the sky… and then we grow up into cautious adults.

Revisit your the free spiritedness of your childhood as you try your hand at climbing, a renowned sport across the world, known for its ability to focus the mind and invigorate the body.

A Walk Through History

In the pages of history, the ancient capital of Leh bookmarks one of the greatest cross-cultural crusades of its time.

We have mapped out a trajectory that shadows time, seeking out all that it left behind. This historical trail traces revered palaces and forgotten forts, it visits the quiet courtyards of ancient museums and cafes rooted in romanticism… all of it, illustrating history that once existed on a grand scale!

The Waves of Zanskar

The river of the copper valley, nourished by the glacial origins of the Himalayas. Its tempestuous waters are wild and ferocious, frigid and pure.

This is an experience that will challenge your wits and numb your bones, shape your endurance and check that resolve off your bucket list… of rafting down the bends of the Zanskar River, as treacherous as it is pristine.

Monastic Prayers

As the sun rises behind the mountains, the sound of cymbals and deep chanting echoes within the walls of Thikse monastery. Novice monks serve steaming cups of butter tea and mantras wrapped in juniper incense travel through the air, kindling an ethereal state that gives you a glimpse of a parallel, monastic world.

Bazaar Stroll

Once a trade post on the Silk Route, the streets of Leh still harbour bustling bazaars brimming with an antiquated charm. Walk through the cobbled streets and the hidden by-lanes that are home to Thanka shops, age-old cafes and a variety of delightful, local street food.

Share the Journey

Travelling isn’t always a smooth ride. The road gets bumpy, lonely and at times, heavy on the pocket. A place to meet people, share stories and split fares… make the miles more feasible as you go along, collecting anecdotes and relishing time.
