Ladakh Zanskar Expedition
Our "special" yearly feature which runs a spectacular two weeks covering most of western Ladakh, monasteries, palaces, villages, hikes and travel down three rivers. The trip begins with a flight over the Himalayas into the Trans-Himalayan region of Ladakh, India's highest and largest district. We spend a few days in Leh town acclimatizing at 11,000 feet above sea level and visiting the ancient monasteries, palaces and villages around Leh. We then drive into the valley of Zanskar, one of the coldest inhabited places on earth, during the winter months.

Starting the trip on the Doda River, we begin our self contained multi-day river adventure down the spectacular and scenic Zanskar river gorge. The trip takes you down the extremely desolate, remote and sheer Zanskar gorge with walls rising a hundreds of feet out of the river bed. We flow into the mighty Indus river (which incidentally lends India its name) past the confluence with the Zanskar at Nimu, to culminate at the historic monastic conclave at Alchi. Undoubtedly a classic, this journey to the last truly lost horizon of our shrinking planet - Zanskar, the "land of white copper is a "must-do", a trip of a lifetime. Bookings close: June 30, each year. Note: Flights to Leh and back need to be booked as early as possible, so for a tentative flight booking, do let us know early.

An exciting journey down one of the world's greatest rivers, an option only
for the true adventurer. The river, after flowing gently eastwards through Tibet, cuts the Greater Himalaya and the highest unclimbed mountain in the world, Namche Barwa before it enters Arunachal Pradesh, where the expedition begins, a few miles inside the line-of-control with China. The expedition takes you through remote hillsides dotted with tribal settlements in clearings surrounded by leech-infested rainforest. It negotiates the finest big volume white water in an area, which is surely one of the most inaccessible in the world. A 9 day self contained run from Tuting to Pasighat (180 kms approx.) through one of the most inaccessible regions in the world makes this one of the most premier expeditions offered.
