Summary

Kashmir and Ladakh make two of the most beautiful regions in India with immense natural beauty. A famous 13th-century Indian poet and scholar Amir Khusro described the beauty of Kashmir thus, “If there is a paradise on earth, it is this, it is this, it is this”. People have linked the climate of Kashmir to that of Switzerland until the end of May and Southern France in July and August. But it is impossible to speak of Kashmir as possessing only one climate or group of characteristics. Every hundred feet of elevation brings some new phase of climate and vegetation.” Likewise, enfolded by stark, arid, astounding, spectacularly jagged mountains, Ladakh, the land of challenging high ’Passes’, crowned by milky white snow, exotic lakes, sparse but mesmerizing meadows and inhabited by warm people is home to many natural wonders a place that can make you forget the rest of the World Also part of the package; attend the popular Hemis festival - Ladakh’s grandest religious Buddhist festival featuring the colourful masked dance called Cham celebrated at the 17th century Hemis monastery. This ’15 nights and 16 days’ tour offers a comprehensive tour of Kashmir and Ladakh.
