Its alternative name, Little Tibet, hints at the dramatic landscapes and distinct culture of Ladakh. Tucked away in the remote north-west corner of India, Ladakh is a mountain paradise for trekkers, looking to embark on an off the beaten track trekking holiday.

Sandwiched between the Himalaya and Karakoram mountain ranges, Ladakh is surrounded by a harsh beauty of soaring, jagged, snow-capped peaks. Here you will find serene Buddhist monasteries clinging to the side of steep mountain walls and colourful prayer-flags fluttering in the wind, whilst snow leopards prowl the rocky, alpine landscape above. Ladakh offers a wealth of opportunity for adventure holidays, including trekking along classic Himalayan trails, or conquering the peak of Kang Yatse 2 (6,250m).
