Ladakh Region Nubra Valley Trek Overview
Alpine Ascents is pleased to be offering this trek in India’s remote Ladakh region. Often known as “Little Tibet” and the “Land Beyond the Passes” Ladakh is a high altitude, snowcapped lunarscape enmeshed in traditional Buddhism that has existed and developed unfettered for centuries. The small villages, often peppered with apricot and other fruit orchards, are the homes for some of the world’s great monasteries that lie precariously on rocky outcrops above the towns. The landscape of high mountain desert is like any other.
Basic Information About Trek
Ladakh is one of those curious destinations that offer so much and yet so few travelers make the journey. Once remote and difficult to get to, a 1 hour flight from Delhi, makes Ladakh very accessible.
