- Enjoy fully supported camping with expert guides, porters and a professional cooking team, providing warm, homecooked Indian meals at every campsite.
- Rub shoulders with the local villagers, known for their hospitality and warmth. Spend a night in Nimaling – one of the most gorgeous high valleys in Ladakh, at 4800 m above sea level – and watch as the locals bring their herds of sheep, goats and yaks to graze in the summer.
- Discover old ruins hidden on the hill tops of Markha Village. This shows the former importance of this ancient route and little is known about the origin of these ruins. Here, you might even spot a wild blue sheep on the slopes, or an eagle circling above!

Delhi is a sprawling metropolis in North India that contains the country's capital, New Delhi. Life is abuzz and hectic here, with traffic going every which way. A huge population shuffles through Delhi's streets, alleys and food and spice-selling bazaars, and it's quite memorable to be a part of it all. Travelers are also well-advised to visit Delhi for its unforgettable energy and exceptionally photo-ready sights and sounds, including India Gate, the Jama Masjid mosque, and the famous imperial residence, the Red Fort. |
