More Dreams. More Life.
More Ladakh
In
comparison to other parts of
the Himalayas, Ladakh has relatively
few trekkers. The region is
often called 'Little Tibet'
and because it is located north
of the main Himalayan range,
it receives little rainfall.
The scenery is stark and dramatic:
deep gorges, alluvial fans,
contorted strata, large Tibetan
Buddhist monasteries, flat-topped
mud-brick houses in oasis-like
villages, snow-capped mountains
and grand distances.
The
way of life in Ladakh shows
us that another way of life
-- a kinder and gentler one
-- is possible.

In 1965, the first
ever trekking company was established
by the late Colonel Jimmy Roberts.
Trekking, the meaning of which
is “travel by foot along
mountain trails” ,can be
done for just a few days or for
a month or more, in the same style
as exploratory or mountaineering
expeditions.
Whilst trekking, Sherpas serve
as guides, interpreters, cooks
and camp staff. Porters, horses
or yaks carry all food, fuel,
camping equipment and your personal
belongings so that you need only
carry what you might want during
the day. At night either you can
stay in tents or local lodges
known as tea-houses and sleep
in sleeping bags, all of which
are carried with the trekking
party.
