Northern India

Ladakh is one of the most enchanting places on Earth. It is a heady combination of raw natural beauty of the land and a rich cultural heritage of its people. Nestled between the Himalayas, the Karakoram Range and the Indus river valley, Ladakh is straight out of a picture post card. The thrill of driving on the highest motorable road in the world at Khardungla is unbeatable. Equally attractive are the visits to beautiful Buddhist Monasteries that dot the mountains across Ladakh. Trekking the Himalayas, Whitewater rafting, camel safari in the cold desert and experiencing Tibetan culture would make sure you will never forget this experience in this lifetime! 

Manali is one of the most beautiful hill stations in Himachal Pradesh, India.  It is nested in the mighty Himalayas with snow capped peaks and steep valleys.  Manali literally means the place where Manu dwelt.   Manu, as per ancient Hindu mythology, is the first man on earth to have started the human race.  It is at the tip of the Kullu valley at a height of about 2100 feet above sea level on the banks of the Beas River.  It is an extremely popular destination and is teeming with crowd during the regular tourist season.  Besides from just basking in the breathtaking natural scenery, one can indulge in adventure sports, mountaineering and trekking.  It is also an important Hindu pilgrimage and has a host of pilgrimage spots.
