Travel beyond the ordinary... Ladakh
Little Tibet ... north from the beautiful, forested Manali Valley along a tremendously scenic road through the old kingdom of Zanskar, into Lahoul and Spiti, camping a couple of nights along the way, crossing four high passes (the highest: Tanglang, 17,475 feet). “is like trekking—crisp air, grand views, a real mountain feel—without the walking.” Now down to the Indus Valley and Ladakh. Spend the next week wandering (and doing a little mild rafting), visiting the Buddhist monasteries of Thikse, Shey, and Lamayuru, and gazing at the spectacular murals at Alchi Gompa, crescendoing with one of the region’s wonderful festivals, at either Hemis or Tak Tak Monastery.
