Tour highlights

Shanti Stupa

The Shanti Stupa is purity personified.  The serene grandeur of the Shanti Stupa perched on a knoll can calm the most restless mind.  Wandering the holy precincts of this unique structure during dusk sets the tone for the Ladakh trip.   From the height, one gets a beautiful perspective of the Leh town way below.  This is a monument not to be missed because it is one of a kind.

Zanskar River

 Two mighty rivers of Northern-most part of India, which are the main source of water in the region, have their confluence in Leh.  Here you can actually see the two different colored water streams merge into yet another beautiful one.  And to note, one coming all the way from Pakistan.

Here you can indulge in adrenaline pumping river rafting activity.  Dont worry if you are not up to a roller-coaster you can opt for a smooth cruise.  There’s one for all.
