The Indian Himalaya is a vast region, and ideally one could spend months here exploring tiny mountain villages, ancient gompas and piligrimage sites. But for the traveler who has less time to devote, the best option is The Jeep Safari, consuming less time and offering the most.

The Western flanks of the Ladakh region, along the Great Himalayan Range offer a variety of routes, crossing the world's greatest mountain range through various passes in its crest. The Zanskar Valley in particular, is a challenging area where even a casual visit to a monastery or a remote village settlement involves a rewarding safari. The old Hindustan-Tibet road, a very important artery of commerce between India and Tibet passes through here as does the strategically significant Manali-Leh highway, now providing an increasingly popular tourist surface access to Ladakh. Bhuntar and Jubbarhati air field near Kullu and Shimla respectively makes the remote areas of Himachal much easier and quicker to reach.

This area has only just been opened to foreign tourists, but in order to limit numbers and preserve the tribal cultures, the government has fixed a high price for providing very basic transport and accommodation in the area. Catering teams will accompany you to make it as comfortable as possible and provide all meals during the tour. The evenings can be spent in singing and dancing with the Tribals- each tribe having its own distinct music and culture.
