Welcome to Ladakh

Nubra Valley

Land of High Passes, Ladakh

In the vast expanse of existence, we often seek the extraordinary to find our true selves. Ladakh, the ‘Land of High Passes’, does that and so much more. It traces to the Tibetan La-dvags and earns its name through towering routes such as Khardung La and Tanglang La that stitch plateaus and valleys together. These high passes serve as gateways to breathtaking landscapes, connecting remote valleys and offering panoramic views that seem to stretch into eternity. For the traveller seeking both adventure and introspection, Ladakh stands as a testament to nature’s grandeur and the enduring spirit of exploration.
