The journey from the lush green valleys of Kashmir to the stark highlands of Ladakh creates an unforgettable contrast of cultures, landscapes, and experiences. This thoughtfully crafted 12-day Kashmir and Ladakh tour package blends the gentle charm of Srinagar’s houseboats and Mughal gardens with the beauty of Ladakh’s barren mountains, scenic monasteries, and shimmering high-altitude lakes.
Begin your 11N/12D Kashmir and Ladakh tour with the timeless allure of Dal Lake, saffron fields of Pahalgam, and snow-capped meadows of Gulmarg. As you pass through the town of Kargil and into Leh, the scenery transforms into high-altitude deserts, moon-like landscapes, and dramatic high mountain passes. The highlights of your Ladakh tour are Khardung La, Pangong Lake, and Nubra Valley that add depth to your travel experience. Visit the ancient monasteries, witness the Buddhist rituals, local markets, and warm Ladakhi hospitality, making this a memorable expedition.
