The ultimate mountain-driving expedition! And the ultimate Buddhist pilgrimage. Starting in Solang Valley up through Rohtang Pass and along the enchanting River Chandra with wonderful glacier and mountain views, Buddha statues and ‘Free Tibet’ signs everywhere. The highway to 16,500ft Baralacha-La provides the most breathtaking landscapes of the Himalayas with meadows set amongst the snow-capped peaks. Up and down mountains, along Lachung-La Pass and its stunning canyon.

Special reference to Thasang Tso – a turqiose lake labelled ‘emerald of a queen’s necklace’. The medicinal hot springs at Chuma-Thang are an essential stop, before Leh and the Indus Valley with the Leh king’s Shey Palace.
