Journey Through India’s High-Altitude Wonders
Embark on an unforgettable journey through northern India, from the sacred city of Amritsar to the high-altitude wonders of Ladakh, where culture, spirituality, and breathtaking landscapes converge.
Start in Amritsar, home to the Golden Temple. Its 750 kg gold dome reflects in the sacred tank below, while the mechanized community kitchen serves thousands daily — a true testament to devotion and service.
Next, visit Dharamsala, nestled in cedar-clad hills and blooming rhododendrons, home to the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan Government-in-exile, exuding serenity at every turn.
In Lamayuru, a moonscape of dramatic rock formations, the monastery houses ancient frescoes and carved masks amid surreal lunar-like terrain. Then, discover Uleytokpo, a peaceful village by the Indus River, surrounded by mountains, valleys, and a living display of Ladakhi culture.
Traverse Khardung La Pass at 5,359 meters, one of the world’s highest motorable roads, for panoramic mountain views. In the Nubra Valley, explore sand dunes and take a camel safari on rare double-humped Bactrian camels.
Marvel at Pangong Lake, a high-altitude saltwater lake whose waters shift through shades of blue and green, framed by towering peaks and vibrant birdlife.
Conclude with Manali, offering adventure sports and the 16th-century Hadimba Temple, and Chandigarh, Le Corbusier’s modern city with wide avenues and the whimsical Rock Garden, made entirely from industrial waste.
This journey blends ancient traditions, modern innovation, and natural wonders, offering discoveries at every turn.
