Journeys
First time
The route continues with short hikes around Sonmarg and a jeep ride to Zero Point, before traversing the Zozila Pass and stopping at war memorials and ancient monasteries. Nights spent at Lamayuru feature an evening walk across its unusual, almost lunar landscapes, with a local overnight stay at the monastery. Later, in Nubra Valley and Pangong Lake, you move between homestays, soaking up the quiet atmosphere and star-filled skies, with early morning yoga by the lake for those who wish.
Travelling in a group capped at 18, transport includes private vehicles, boats, and jeeps. This tour isn’t just about reaching remote passes or monasteries — it’s about treading the uneven roads of India with a patient eye, noting everything from fluttering prayer flags at Khardung La to the stories of Pashmina herders.
