Days across Ladakh’s high passes, monastery towns and a lake that changes colour by the hour — travelled privately, at your own pace.
Sit in on the dawn puja at Thiksey, walk Alchi’s thousand-year-old murals by butter lamp, and meet the monks who keep them.
Over Khardung La to the dunes at Hunder, the Bactrian camels and the apricot orchards of Turtuk — the Himalaya’s most surprising valley.
Himalayanz Mount Ladakh is a Government Registered local tour operator based in the heart of Ladakh. We specialise in private land tours, motorcycle expeditions and trekking adventures across every corner of the region — from Nubra Valley, the Changthang plateau and Pangong Lake to the remote beauty of Zanskar, Kargil, Aryan Valley, Tso Moriri and Hanle.
Being locals, we do not just take you to the famous viewpoints — we share the stories, traditions and experiences that make Ladakh truly special. Every itinerary is shaped around your interests, travel style and pace.
Monastery valleys, cold-desert dunes, the lakes of the high plateau and the overland road up from Kashmir — pick the landscape that calls you and we will shape the days around it.

Four promises we make on every single booking — from the first email to the airport goodbye.
We work hard to make the Himalayas reachable for everyone — from first-time flyers to slow travellers who need an easier pace.
01Every journey includes handpicked stays, a private vehicle with a mountain-trained driver, permits and generous sightseeing.
02A local destination expert plans your route, watches the weather and adjusts the days so you never lose a moment.
03Reach a real human 24 hours a day, 7 days a week — before you book, on the road and long after you fly home.
04Send a short enquiry with your dates, group and travel style. No forms to fill for an hour.
01Within 12 hours a designer sends a day-by-day route, hotel options and clear pricing.
02Swap hotels, add a trek, slow a day down. We revise until it reads like your trip.
03We meet you at the airport with your driver, permits done, and stay reachable throughout.
04Starting on a houseboat in Srinagar and finishing at Pangong ten days later is the best way to do this, and they told us in advance exactly how long the Zoji La day would be. Crossing from the Kashmir valley into the Ladakh desert by road is the most extraordinary thing either of us has done.
Elena & Marc Dubois
Lyon, France · Kashmir & Ladakh Tour — 9 Nights / 10 Days
Nine days, two passes over 5,000 m, and a night under the Hanle sky that made the whole thing worth it. They were also honest with me about how long the Changthang driving days really are — I knew exactly what I was signing up for, and it was perfect.

Turtuk was the surprise of the trip — we almost skipped it and it turned out to be our favourite day. Standing in front of the 11th-century murals at Alchi on the last day, looking at paint that went on the wall a thousand years ago, is a memory I will keep for a very long time.
Sofia Marchetti
Milan, Italy · Ladakh Land Tour — 7 Nights / 8 Days
Six days was all the leave I could take and they made every one of them count. Sunrise at Pangong before the drive back over Chang La was worth the early start on its own. The driver read the group perfectly and never once made us feel rushed.
Yuki Tanaka
Osaka, Japan · Himalayanz Mount Ladakh — 5 Nights / 6 Days
Two full days in Leh before anyone took us over Khardung La was the single best piece of travel advice we have ever been given. Ten days and not one wasted afternoon. Hanle at night is something neither of us will forget — the sky there is unlike anywhere else we have been.
James & Priya Whitfield
London, UK · Ladakh Land Tour — 9 Nights / 10 Days
We were nervous about the altitude and they built the whole first three days around it. By Khardung La we felt completely fine. Tsering, our driver, stopped at places no itinerary mentions and knew every monk at Thiksey by name.

One short form, one real specialist. No sales scripts, no obligation — just an honest plan and honest pricing for the trip you actually want.
Share a few details and a Ladakh specialist will send you a tailored itinerary with pricing — usually within 12 hours.
May to September is the classic window — all passes open, lakes ice-free and long daylight. July and August are greenest in Nubra and busiest in Leh. For photographers and quiet roads, late May or the second half of September are our favourites. The Srinagar–Kargil leg depends on Zoji La being open, which is reliable across the same months.
Every itinerary is built around it. You spend your first 24–36 hours in Leh at an easy pace, then gain height gradually rather than driving straight to a high lake. Vehicles carry oxygen cylinders and a pulse oximeter, drivers are trained to spot early symptoms, and we keep a doctor on call. If anyone needs an extra rest day, we rearrange the plan — never the other way round.
Yes. Inner Line Permits for Nubra, Turtuk, Pangong, Tso Moriri and Hanle are arranged before you arrive, along with monastery entries and wildlife-area fees where applicable. You only need to send passport scans a week ahead.
Handpicked boutique properties, heritage homes and the best available camps — chosen for location, warm water, heating and food rather than star ratings. In remote valleys the honest answer is that comfort is simple; we tell you exactly what to expect for each night and offer upgrades where they genuinely exist.
Every trip we run is private and every published route is a starting point. Add a trek, extend Nubra, spend a second night at Pangong, swap a driving day for Tso Moriri, or build the whole thing around the Hemis festival dates — tell us what matters and we redraw the plan around it at no extra design cost.
Full refund of the advance up to 30 days before departure, 50% between 30 and 15 days, and no refund inside 15 days — but we always try to move your dates instead. If a road or pass closes for reasons outside anyone’s control, we reroute at no extra cost and refund any unused services.
Tell us your dates and travel style. We will come back with a private itinerary, honest pricing and the small local details that make the difference.
