Land of Discovery - Ladakh and Kashmir
14 days from £3430 per person

Jammu and Kashmir is India's most northerly state. It is also a region characterised by its strong diversity - geological, cultural and religious. This itinerary joins Ladakh in northern India with the Kashmir valley and, in doing so, creates one of the finest journeys of the Indian subcontinent. Starting in Ladakh, time is spent exploring this remote and rugged land which is rich in Buddhist culture and home to numerous ancient monasteries. From Leh, a flight is then taken to Srinagar with the second part of the journey spent both on and around the lakes for which this beautiful region is rightly famed.
Route: Delhi – Leh – Pangong Lake – Leh – Nagin Lake – Srinagar – Delhi
Itinerary Highlights
Once the royal residence of the Kings of Ladakh, Shey Monastery is one of the oldest religious complexes in the region and houses a grand Maitreya Buddha and large gilded victory stupa.
The imposing Thikse Monastery is over 600 years old and remains one of Ladakh’s most important monastic centres. It contains numerous statues, thangkas and beautiful wall paintings.
A highlight of any visit to Kashmir is to experience the lakes and stunning alpine scenery, however, Srinagar also has much to offer with bustling bazaars, temples, mosques and gardens.
