Journeys
First time
In Srinagar, the itinerary includes an overnight stay in a traditional houseboat on Dal Lake and a shikara ride through the Mughal Gardens. From there you travel the Srinagar-Leh road, crossing high mountain passes like Zozila and Khardung La, one of the highest motorable roads in the world. Along the way, visits include monasteries, war memorials and trekking in valleys like Lidder and Nubra.
Accommodation ranges from simple hotels and homestays to a houseboat, with plenty of travelling by road, train and flights. The tour is led by a Chief Experience Officer, with local guides pitching in where specialist knowledge is needed. Patience is required as timings can be unpredictable but, in exchange, the route crosses some rarely travelled parts of the Indian Himalayas.
