Treks

Ladakh provides many different opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. We can organise treks to suit your interests and requirements. Whether it's wildlife, scenery or monasteries, let us know what you want to see and we'll explain the different possibilities to you. All of our treks are homestay treks.
