Ladakh is a land like no other. Bound by two of the world's mightiest mountain ranges, the Great Himalaya and the Karakoram, Ladakh is renowned for its remote mountain beauty and Buddhist culture. It is a land of snowcapped peaks, translucent lakes, barren terrain and mystic culture. Seekers have wandered the vast and magical landscape for centuries.
The first few days of this trip begin by acclimating to the high altitude (11,562 ft) of Leh, the capital of Ladakh. We will learn about Buddhist culture by visiting several ancient Buddhist monasteries perched precariously in the mountains. Hiking starts on day 4. Both beautiful and unique, our route takes us where few tourists go. Hiking distances have been tailored in order to keep each day open enough to have space for yoga, meditation, chanting and discussion with Cathie Caccia. During the hikes, you will carry a small day pack while horses/porters carry the rest.
Barring inclement weather, the trip ends with an overnight in Agra, home of the magnificent Taj Mahal. Learn firsthand why it is considered my many to be the "Crown Jewel of India" and one of the Wonders of the World.
