Kashmir to Ladakh: Where Valleys Meet the Sky

This is India at its most epic — 15 days of winding roads, wild landscapes, and culture that runs deep. Float on Dal Lake aboard a traditional houseboat, wander Mughal gardens, and trek through Pahalgam’s green valleys before climbing higher into Ladakh. Cross mountain passes where prayer flags flutter in the wind, explore monasteries that feel frozen in time, and sleep under skies bursting with stars. It’s the kind of overland journey where the road itself is half the adventure.
