Leh Tours

Leh is an ethereal town cradled in the dramatic landscapes of Ladakh. It has the region’s primary airport and is where most travelers acclimatize to the high altitude, of around 11,500 feet, before venturing to even higher areas. Once a vital stop on the historic Silk Road, the town’s architecture, cuisine, language and traditions bear witness to centuries of trade and cultural exchange between Central Asia and Tibet. In Leh, prayer flags flutter in the thin mountain air and locals greet visitors with warm smiles and cups of butter tea, creating an atmosphere that feels worlds away from the chaos of modern cities. The imposing Leh Palace is perched above the town, offering panoramic views of the Indus Valley. Monks practice centuries-old traditions amidst stunning mountain backdrops in the ancient monasteries of Thiksey and Hemis.
