A selection of some of my favourite memories of the this beautiful region. Due to the success and interest of this past trip we will be running another two in Aug/Sept 2011.
If you are interested please email info@spanafrican-adventures.co.za Note that we try to run these trips as environmentally senstively as possible i.e. no bottled water , we carry out all we take in, leaving no trace at our campsites, respecting the Ladakhi culture as we go.
