You visit the sumptuous monasteries of the Indus Valley overlooking the small oasis villages. Admire the thousand shades of ocher of the mineral mountains and discover these sumptuous lunar and desolate landscapes so typical of Ladakh. Cross the highest motorable pass in the world to reach the Nubra Valley, an ancient historic stop on the Silk Road. Stroll on foot or by bike to soak up the great outdoors. Go back in time like a silk merchant during a camel expedition on the sand dunes. Then, you reach the East of the Indus Valley and admire the ancient art of Ladakh between mural frescoes, statues or thangkas in monasteries, museums and old palaces.
