The 5 Best City Tours in Ladakh, Jammu and Kashmir

October 12, 2021 Jacquiline Delozier

Bounded by the Karakoram and Himalayan mountains, Ladhak is the largest province in the state of Jammu and Kashmir. The landscape of Ladhak, a high altitude desert, is defined by craggy, barren cliffs and plateaus. Ladhak is a favorite among adventure sports enthusiasts, offering unique adventures in trekking, mountaineering and white water rafting. While rafting options are available on both Indus and Zanskar rivers, the Zanskar course is more difficult and exciting. The trekking options range from short, day-long walks to visit monuments or monastic settlements to long, trans-mountain treks involving weeks of walking and camping in the wilderness. Ladhak celebrates a numbers of monastic festivals - annual events of the major monasteries primarily in winters. The month of September, hosts the Ladhak Festival, that gives a peek into the richness, depth and pageantry of Ladakh's centuries-old culture, traditions and folk heritage. One can witness the best samples of the region's performing arts, Archery contests and the Ladhak Polo Cup.

Another reason why Manali to Leh Ladakh bike trip is considered heaven for riders is due to the presence of the highest motor-able passes on the way to Leh.

We did a 9 day trip with my husband and some friends. First, we went to Ladakh and then to Kashmir. And it was one of the best trips of our lives! First of all, it's always difficult to make a tailor-made trip for a group, because each one has their preferences and their budget. Well then: Vandana, from Offbeat tracks, organized the perfect trip for us taking into account everyone's preferences. She was very patient listening to our doubts and questions and was always friendly and helpful. She made us a beautiful route with incredible landscapes, sightseeings and unique experiences: regional dances, native music, authentic ladakhi food in a family's home, sleeping in a housboat in the Dal Lake of Srinagar, ski in Gulmarg... Both the drivers and the guides were super friendly, and they were helpful and made us have a great experience at both locations. The hotels were beautiful and very comfortable. We only had a couple of unforeseen events with them (not because of the agency, it was the hotel's fault) and from Offbeat tracks they fixed it for us very quickly. They were aware of us throughout the trip, asking us daily how we were doing and if everything had gone well. We felt very accompanied by them. We are already thinking about our next trip and, without a doubt, we will repeat with them! Thank you again Vandana and Offbeat tracks team for this amazing trip.
