TRIP TO
LADAKH
June 7-26
A journey to the spiritual heart of the Himalayas.
Ladakh, located in the trans-Himalayas of India, is a fascinating destination that transports you to a mystical world.
Known as Little Tibet, its rich history and culture are reflected in the ancient monasteries and stupas that dot the landscape.
As you explore its valleys and mountains, you will feel the connection with traditional life and the sacred air that envelops every corner.
On each route, a breathtaking view awaits you, reminding you that you are in a place where nature and spirituality intertwine.
PILGRIMAGE
Himalaya Path treks are not just simple journeys.
They are contemplative pilgrimages, designed for those seeking to connect with themselves through silence, beauty, and presence.
On every hike through the mountains, we come across stupas, gompas, and ancient temples.
The path is thus revealed as a spiritual path.
Walking in silence, among snow-capped peaks and vast skies, gives us the opportunity to cultivate mindfulness and deep introspection.
These mountains have been home to great yogis and practitioners who, for centuries, achieved contemplative and tantric realizations. Their presence has imbued the space with a naturally serene, meditative, and auspicious energy.
Therefore, exploring the Himalayas is not just a journey.
It is a transformative experience for the mind and heart.
ITINERARY
LEH
LEH
Welcome to Leh!
You will take the flight from New Delhi to Leh with a journey of 1 hour and a half.
During the first two days we will take the time to acclimatize to the altitude of 3560 m in the capital Ladakh.
We will be staying in a cozy Guest House near the center, allowing you to explore the city on foot and avoid the car congestion and smog that increases every year.
This is an ideal time to relax, take a stroll and discover the charms of Leh.
INDUS RIVER
Here begins our contemplative journey along the mighty Indus River!
On this tour I will take you to the villages of Timosgang and Alchi, where serenity will embrace us.
During our stay, we will explore the nearby monasteries, immersing ourselves in the meditation and peace that these places offer, and we will have the good fortune to attend one of the monastery mask festivals.
We will also visit the silent Saspol caves, whose paintings show a unique fusion of Indo-Tibetan styles, and enjoy a short walk to Hemis Shuckpachen.

An important part of these trips is collaborating with local people.
On this trip we will once again have the support of Wanderland Tour & Adventure and the guidance of Gyatso Norbu.

I AM CHAI
And I want to take you to discover what I treasure most about the Himalayas: their contemplative energy.
The first time I traveled to these mountains in 2014, after 10 months of pilgrimage, studies, practices, and retreats, that trip changed my life.
I had returned to that place that my heart recognized as the home that in past lives was a light on my spiritual path.
Since then I have returned repeatedly to do solitary meditation retreats and pilgrimages following in the footsteps of my teacher Guru Rinpoche.
I have designed this trip with much love and dedication so that you can enjoy an unforgettable experience.
Namaste
