Ladakh: Between Heaven and Earth: 13 days from £3990

BASINGSTOKE, U.K. - March 28, 2024 - PRLog -- Often referred to as 'Little Tibet,' Ladakh is a world apart from anywhere else in India. Accessible only by flight (from Delhi), and only for a short few months of the year, this is a stand-alone destination which cannot easily be compared with anywhere else in the Subcontinent.

The India-administered state has much to offer the discerning visitor; glacial, lunar landscapes, fascinating untouched culture, and adventurous activities on offer at every turn.

Unlike much of the Subcontinent, Ladakh is best visited during the UK summer months and, as such, is an extremely enticing option for an adventurous family holiday.

It is also ideal for return visitors, Himalaya addicts, and those with a yen to visit truly off-the-beaten-path corners of the world.

Bamboo Travel's 13-day Between Heaven and Earth itinerary, showcases a general interest tour taking in Leh, Nimmu, Nubra Valley, and Stok; the private tour could easily be adapted to suit a variety of interests and age groups.

Accommodation is in good quality character properties, of a 3-4* range, but those seeking the very best in comfort, can opt to stay in two outstanding TUTC luxury, tented camps in Thiksey and Diskit.

The holiday commences in Leh, the largest town in the region, with a population in excess of 30,000.  Enjoy a guided tour, which includes the royal palace (known as Leh Palace), which was built between 1612 and 1642).

The palace was abandoned when Kashmiri forces besieged it in the mid-19th century, with the royal family moving south to their current home in Stok Palace on the southern bank of the Indus River.

The itinerary includes the very best of Ladakh, and all the key cultural sites, with ample scope for tailored adventures.

The holiday costs from £3990 per person, based on two people sharing a room, for departures in May.

This includes international (Virgin) and domestic flights, all transportation on a private basis, 11 nights' accommodation, most meals, and entrance fees and guides for sightseeing.
