About

Exploring Leh-Ladakh in Jammu and Kashmir is the most cherished dream of all adventurous people and never dying brave hearts, who love challenging the harsh climate, rough weather, tough terrains, and the most spine-chilling moments. It’s just impossible to beat the allure of trekking adventures in Ladakh. Its harsh topography, monasteries circuits, and the unbelievable life-surviving experiences are daunting but enthralling too, no matter, whether they are spirituality seekers or adventure lovers. The scenic surroundings are incredible, and the views are mesmerizing, whether they are of the valleys of Ladakh or the gorgeous frozen lakes or the magnificent, breath-taking snow-clad mountains. Evading the fear and the fury of the nature is not difficult, considering the adventures that keep you enthralling all the way around, whether it’s chilling winters touching -20 degree or lovely summers when the trekking is more of fun, rather than the threatening adventure.
