This journey will take us on the ancient
silk road, through the Ladakh and the Nubra valleys,
a crossroad for commercial activities between India,
Tibet and Central Asia. In the ancient
kingdom of Sham, we will discover the main Ladakhi
monasteries and the wonderful sites surrounding them:
Shey, Thiksey, Hemis, Spitok, Phyang, Lamayuru and
Alchi… The second valley was an important stage
for caravans following the Silk Road , which where
swapping their mules for the famous camels of Bactriane.
It is only since 1995 that the Restricted area of
the Nubra opened its doors to foreigners. Lying approximately
400m lower than Leh, Nubra sports a much milder climate,
which enables its inhabitants to cultivate more extensively,
as compared to their counterparts in the main Indus
valley. The highlights of this tour are the crossing
of the Khardong La pass (5400 m), on the highest motorable
roads in the world and a Bactriane camel safari
