Ladakh Calling

Far away from the buzz of the city lost to the world a monastery sits in a snowy mountainous slope. A small stream flows beside it weaving its way slowly through a barren rocky landscape. An ibex walks furtively up to the water and dips its tongue in the freezing current. The wind is a slow melancholy tune that the mountains sing to the winter calming her down asking her to be merciful &ndash asking her for a respite. A monk walks out onto the rooftop gathers his robes around him and lifts a conch to his lips in the call for prayer. As the call fills the air a sliver of sunlight peeps through the winter haze and rests on the pinnacle of a stupa at the threshold of the monastery. The monk stops. Sits down. Blinking at the lone ray of light he smiles quietly at dawn tiptoeing through the monastery gate. The rest is silence...As human beings we are steeped in the mundane and the chaotic. Often the drudgery of work and hectic existences leaves us in a quest for peace and silence. Our purpose is not to provide you with the superficial experience of a conventional packaged holiday. We at Ladakh Calling try to make every holiday unique and personal. Taming the rugged beauty of Ladakh into a set schedule &ndash an itinerary &ndash is not something that we are attempting here. We are not here to cage the myriad experiences of Ladakh in a post card or a photograph. The experience we hope moulds itself in harmony with your own impressions and responses to the places you visit and the diverse communities landscapes and cultures you encounter. We want you to be part of this ongoing celebration of beauty and go back with moments that have breathed their magnificence into your being and etched themselves firmly in your mind. So let us embark on a journey and find out together what we can do to make your stay in Ladakh meaningful. We organize summit expeditions treks cultural trips Jeep safaris wildlife tours mountain biking white water river rafting remote home stays alternate treks and much more.
