Here you can see Tankhas (Buddhist paintings), religious ceremonies and a culture which is unique in the world. We fly from Delhi to Leh which is capital of the province. Here we stay in a comfortable hotel and visit surrounding villages and monasteries.
Then we go for a 3 day tough jeep safari covering 750 kilometres and crossing some of the highest passes in the world. Panoramic views are astonishing beautiful.
We visit Tabo monastery which will be retiring place of the Dalai lama, spiritual leader of Tibet.

TRIP TO SOURCE OF GANGES
We invite you to
join this unique journey in the heart of mighty Himalayas. This trip
includes following the course of the Ganges, the holy river of India.
We start our journey in Haridwar, where the Ganges enters into plains, leaving her home in the mountains.
Next stop is Netala, which is a little village at 1650 M. Here we do walks in the surrounding forest and villages to see Indian culture and feel the nature in it’s pure form. During the walks you can smell the forest and feel the silence occasionally broken by songs of birds .
Dharali is the last village of this valley at 2300 M. Here we stay in tents on the bank of Ganges. Here you’ll see people are happy with minimum material they have which is quiet contrast to the life in the west. That will help to change the way we see things and we go back as a new person.

by mighty peaks. Some of them are more then 6000 M. high.
