Lakes tour to Ladakh. The tour starts like our classic tour of Ladakh, a gradual discovery of Himalayan landscapes by spending a night in camp after the passage of each pass. This ensures a better acclimatization and the opportunity to really enjoy each different places.
In the middle of the tour, we do not descend to the Indus valley, but we plunge into the wild world of Eastern Ladakh close to the Tibetan border. After Lake Tso Kar, a spectacular road and a day of walk brings us to Lake Tso Moriri and Kiagar. We spend a whole day at Tso Moriri to fully enjoy the landscape with the changing light during the day.
The tour also goes by the Buddhist monastery of Hemis before going to the largest lake in Ladakh, Pangong Tso. We spend one night there in camp.
Children are welcome for this tour. The little ones may stay at the camp during the hiking days.
