We had an amazing trip to the beautiful region of Ladakh, thanks to White Expedition. Aniket was incredibly helpful and patient in answering our many questions, and created a tailor-made itinerary that included all our must-sees. From Manali, with our guide, we crossed the high snow-capped mountains of Zanskar Valley and the surrounding landscapes, the beautiful scenery of Nubra Valley, with its cold desert and turquoise rivers, the rich culture of Leh with its many monasteries, the magnificent and high altitude lakes and remote villares,, the all through Shinkula pass and the scenic Khardung La pass, considered two of the highest motorable passes in the world, everything was flawless and unforgettable. We highly recommend this expedition!
