# Ladakh: The Great Escape **Route**: `/solo-women-group-travel/ladakh-the-great-escape` ## Overview The adventure capital of the country, Ladakh is famous for the top two highest motorable mountain passes in the world. This is the reason to why Ladakh gets the name as Roof of the World. It is also famous for Tibetan and Buddhism culture. Spectacularly jagged, arid mountains enfold this magical Buddhist ex-kingdom. Picture-perfect gompas dramatically crown rocky outcrops next to fluttering prayer flags and whitewashed stupas, while prayer wheels spun clockwise release merit-making mantras. It's a little corner of Tibet marooned in the farthest reaches of India. Ladakh offers mesmerizing view with a surreal palette of vivid blues, which contrasts magically with the surrounding colourful mineral swirls, snow-brushed mountains, tremendous scenery on a grand scale, with green oasis villages. Pack Andrew Harvey’s book 'A Journey in Ladakh,'you may like to catch upon your reading during the in between moments. ## Quick Facts - **Duration**: 5 Days & 4 Nights - **Starting Point**: Leh Airport - **Comfort Level**: luxury Stay - **Collections**: N/A - **Tags**: N/A ## Departure Dates No departures available currently. ## Activities - Khardong La and Chang La Pass - Nubra Valley - Turtuk Village - Pangong Lake ## Detailed Itinerary ### Day 1: Arrive in Leh Arrive at Leh Airport and transfer to the hotel where a traditional welcome awaits you with Khattaks, tea, coffee & Breakfast.

Being a medical professional, I barely got time to wander and explore things and places. — **Dr Salena Sawhney**, Dentist > “Ridiculously efficient” is the phrase that comes to mind when I think about Kanu Baby aka Kanika. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Kanika for a very short period of time (Leh –Ladakh: 26 May – 2 June), during which she expertly filled the role of our tour coordinator. I was impressed with her ability to handle even the toughest clients—and effortlessly. That skill often takes years to develop among professionals, but it seemed to come perfectly naturally to her. I was also in awe of Kanika’s ability to command a room and get people on board with ideas—even people who were initially on completely different pages. I could perfectly recall her taking charge of meeting us at the airport. She ensured that we were comfortably settled in our hotel. She explained the itinerary and schedule of the travel. She and Amu provided significant information about each destination or attraction visited with emphasis on its cultural and historical meaning, she managed meals and transportation related to the tour, handled emergency situations. She also ensured that we all had a stimulating experience of local offerings. I was particular intrigued that how effortlessly she blended with our group and participated in regular enjoyment activities along with us all. And, of course, her outgoing and friendly personality, excellent leadership, problem-solving abilities, ability to organize trip effectively, open-mindedness to others’ opinions and ideas would be a true asset for any company and comes with my heartfelt recommendation. — **Anu Gupta**, Corporate > Every wow club has a wow buddy who ensures that you have the best trip ever. Thank you Kanika for being such an amazing Wow Buddy. Ladakh has given me some of the sweetest friendships and memories for that I am very grateful. Cheers to WOW CLUB. — **Karima Dawoodani**, Artist ## Booking Policies ### Early Bird Offers Get an Early Bird ticket with discounts.
