Journey in Brief: Spend ten exhilarating days on your gap year abroad traversing the Himalayas enroute to Ladakh. Ladakh is set high between two of the world's highest mountain ranges; the Karakoram and the Himalayas. Known as Little Tibet it shares many ties with its neighbours especially religion and culture. Starting in
Delhi this ten day journey takes you through some breathtaking scenery and to monasteries on the roof of the world. You will have the chance to hike through the mountain passes and camp under the stars. You will visit many of Ladakh's beautiful towns including the spectacular Leh and get the chance to see traditional Nomadic tribes and ancient palaces.
The Experience: Over 11 days you will leave behind the hustle and bustle of
Delhi, traveling across the plains of northern India to the lush Himalayan foothills to Manali with its orchards, forests and rivers before heading for 'the top of the world' or 'Little Tibet' as Ladakh is known. There is something totally magical about the remoteness of this area, its gentle people, culture and religion. The monasteries, monks, markets and prayer flags all exude color and richness in stark contrast with the dusty mountain terrain.
