“I’d give Lotus Expeditions top marks in all categories.  You were incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, responsive and easy to work with.  You quickly figured out what type of trip we were after (even though I wasn’t sure exactly what I wanted) and put together an itinerary that was spot-on.

I’ve not traveled as much as you but I have seen a fair amount of the world and this trip was the most interesting I’ve ever taken.  Thanks for making that possible.”

-Larry Santoro, New Jersey

Ladakh, India: Monasteries
and Apricot Valley Trek

13 Days- Weekly departures April-October, 2008

Custom departures and prices available
Trip Difficulty: Moderate

Sandwiched between the Himalaya to the south and the Karakoram to the North, Ladakh is truly the jewel of northern India. Also known as “little Tibet”, Tibetan Buddhism influences every aspect of the people, the land and the culture. The arid, windswept landscape is dotted with rural villages, rugged, glaciated peaks and vast valleys.

Our journey will visit several important monasteries surrounding Leh- the capital of Ladakh. We will hike for six days through some of the most spectacular villages in Ladakh visiting more monasteries en route.

Ladakh, India:
The Markha Valley Trek

18 Days- Weekly departures May-September, 2008

Custom departures and prices available
Trip Difficulty: Challenging

The Markha Valley Trek in Ladakh, Northern India is one of the most varied and beautiful treks in the world. It ventures high into the Himalaya crossing two passes over 15,000 feet/4575 meters as it circles from the edges of the Indus River Valley, down into parts of Zanskar, and passes through terrain that changes from incredibly narrow valleys to wide-open plateaus. It is made all the more interesting by the ancient form of Buddhism that flourishes in the many monasteries that dot the landscape perched high atop hills.
