Ladakh Programmes
Ladakh, the rooftop of the world has a special place for tourists from across the world. It is unique in landscape, people and food. Due to the high altitude, and remote location, access by road is limited to a few months of the year - but is very rewarding. The flights to & fro Leh afford awesome views as they cross several ranges of mountains.
We offer a wide range of tours suiting varied tourist interests ranging from sightseeing, photography, religion and spiritualism, adventure, and driving holidays.
We also offer high adventure on Royal Enfield 500 CC ( Bullet) motorcycles to the discerning enthusiast. With our own 25 well maintained motorcycles you can enjoy Ladakh at its best. Each of the following programmes can be incorporated by adding a day or two of sightseeing by motorcycle instead of the usual transport.
