Overview

The mystical land of Ladakh, often referred to as Little Tibet due to its similarity in Culture, food, stunning landscapes, and Tibetan monasteries, is a magical and mystical land in the foothills of the Himalayas dotted with Centuries-old Buddhist monasteries, which are home to thousands of lamas practicing rich traditions of Tibetan Buddhism in a monastic order.

Early morning calls for prayers in the monasteries, Buddhist monks and lamas adorned in red robes, colourful flags, whitewashed stupas or chortens, and the spreading fragrance of juniper in the air, along with the churning of prayer wheels, are familiar sights in Ladakh - the mystical land of Serenity, Purity, and Sanity.

This 4-night/5-day soulful journey takes you to the lesser-known / visited world of Tibetan Buddhism. During these 5 days, you will experience the profound spiritual awakening that comes from immersing yourself in the world of centuries-old Buddhist traditions.
