Venture into the Himalayas on this 8-day journey through Kashmir and Ladakh — a region of shimmering lakes, soaring passes, and ancient traditions. Float on Dal Lake in a traditional houseboat, hike through the lush valleys of Pahalgam and Sonmarg, and cross dramatic mountain roads to the surreal “Moonland” of Lamayuru. With monasteries, villages, and warm encounters along the way, this trip blends epic landscapes with the spirit of the people who call them home.
All of the highlights, culture, access, and I-can’t-believe-we-did-that moments, all at a great price.
Comfortable tourist-class accommodations with character; mix of public and private transport.
Some tours may include light hiking, biking, rafting, or kayaking in addition to walking.
Group trips average 12 travellers per departure, depending on the adventure. The maximum is usually no more than 16, but some can be smaller or bigger, depending on the trip. Check individual trips for details.
All travellers under age 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
