 From
time immemorial man has worshipped the great peaks of the
Himalayas, believing they were the home of their gods. Amongst
these peaks the great religions of Islam, Hinduism and
Buddhism flourished.
This great range has always been the meeting point, and the
melting pot, of countless religions and cultures, though even
today, small enclaves of tradition remain totally
undisturbed. Stretching from Pakistan to Burma, the Himalayas
contains thousands of peaks over 6000m and the world's
fourteen highest peaks.
In Pakistan the peaks and glaciers clustered round K2 form the
wildest and most heavily glaciated region of the Himalayas.
The hardy valley communities have their cultural origins
linked with Ladakh
 is
a fascinating cultural mix of Islam, Hinduism and
trans-Himalayan Buddhism. It is one of the most beautiful and
rewarding regions of the Himalayas.
The high alpine forests and trans-Himalayan deserts of the
western arm of the range contrast sharply with the lush,
sub-tropical forests of the eastern ranges. Here the great
peaks soar from the hot plains, and here Sikkim and Bhutan
have been isolated for centuries. Within the deep, mysterious
valleys, cultures and religions flourished that only recently
have been revealed to the world, while the forests support a
variety of wildlife unparalleled elsewhere in the Himalayas.
The worlds' youngest and highest mountains nourish some of the
world's oldest traditions and continue to be an exciting
frontier for adventure travel!
Kashmir Suru Valley Trek
 This
short and comparatively easy trek amongst the peaks and lakes
of the Kolahoi Range is an exciting introduction to the
splendors of Kashmir (you are strongly recommended to combine

waterways of Srinagar behind we drive south east to Pahalgam.
Here we meet out pony men and load up our equipments. Our trek

Markha Valley Trek
Beautiful Valley
Kashmir. A valley of lakes and Camels These houseboat
communities are something unique in the world.
On the slopes of the
peaks are great forests and rich pastures, alive with flowers
in the summer months, on which the Gurjar shepherds graze
their flocks. Tumbling glaciers and soaring peaks complete the
splendid scene.
In startling contrast,
Ladakh, or Little Tibet, is an awesome moonscape! This arid,
mountainous desert watered by only a few rivers is the home of
the Ladakis of Buddhist faith.
Flat-roofed monasteries
perch dramatically on great crags, dominating the landscape
and lives of the people. Two totally different worlds offer an
exciting insight into this vividly contrasted region.

NUBRA VALLEY TREK
We are guarded by high passes, deep gorges and craggy stone
forts, Zanskar has managed to keep alive an ancient and
prosperous way of life with little connection with the outside
world over the centuries.
Even the famous
trans-Himalayan caravans did not pass through Zanskar. Even
now, very few visit the area and consequently our trek
experiences are even more rewarding than normal.
We fly to Leh and spend
a few days gently exploring the great monasteries of the Indus
Valley. Crossing high passes (4-500m) we skirt the main
Himalayan Range and enter Zanskar.
Monasteries and forts
guard the valley and we now meet Moslem groups as well as
Buddhists Zanskaris. Zanskar is completely unique.
