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.

Beautiful! Good luck with the next season, what a wonderful place to be returning too…
awesome scenries and adventurous tour………………..
Hi Bridget,
I enjoyed your talk at the Museum in Pmburg so much. I envy your enthusiasm but, even more, your ability to ride up all those mountains!!!
We are hoping to visit Rajasthan and Ladakh next September, but will hopefully find an english speaking driver/guide to drive us around. Not sure whether to brave those terrifying roads and drivers in a BigBus or a car!!
