This 14-day Ladakh photography tour and expedition is built around two things most photo tours in this region don't give equal weight — Himalayan landscape and the people who live in it.
We begin in Old Delhi with spice markets, Chandni Chowk, and Humayun's Tomb at golden hour. From Delhi we fly to Leh and give ourselves time to acclimatize before photographing monks at morning prayer in Thiksey, the cliff-top monastery of Hemis, and the bread makers of the old town. We cross Khardung La at 5,359 meters into Nubra Valley — sand dunes against snow peaks, Bactrian camels at Hunder, the Maitreya Buddha above the valley. At Pangong Lake, we stay lakeside for sunrise. Tsokar's salt flats and the Changpa nomads — tea inside a yak-hair tent — come next. The final leg runs west to Alchi, the Aryan Valley with its flower-crowned villagers, the moonscape of Lamayuru, and the traditional resort at Ule before we close back in Leh.
Ladakh has gotten easier to reach. The flights are reliable, the permits are straightforward, and the lodging has quietly caught up. What hasn't changed is the light at 3,500 meters, the scale of the Karakoram, and the fact that the people who live up here will still welcome you into a tent for tea.
Join our Ladakh photo tour and photograph the Himalaya the way it's still lived in.
