Highlights

Get ready for an experiential tour of Ladakh’s ancient heritage and local life as we take you to the most ancient monasteries of Ladakh and homestays of two beautiful homestay villages. Rinchen Zangpo (957 – 1055 AD), also called Mahaguru, was an 11th-century ruler and scholar in western Tibet. During his era, he initiated 108 temples inviting artisans from Kashmir who brought with them their unique style of art and painting. Thus, came into existence the most celebrated, and undoubtedly the most beautiful monasteries of Ladakh; The Alchi monastery, Mangyu monastery, and Sumda-Chun monastery.


In this tour, you’ll also witness the astounding landscapes as you trek to the pristine village in the Indus valley where you’ll experience the authentic hospitality and culture of this region.
