Ladakh — Leh, Nubra & Pangong
The high-altitude cold desert of India, in one perfectly-paced expedition.
Four days of independent music, rice fields and bamboo huts in the clouds.
The Ziro Music Festival is quietly one of the best in Asia. Four days of curated indie music on two stages, set inside the paddy fields of the Apatani tribe. Sleep in a bamboo hut, wake up to fog, eat pork ribs at 11am, and lose count of the incredible new bands you'll discover.
Early flight or overnight train, then a 10h scenic drive up to Ziro. Settle into our bamboo cottages. Opening night acoustic set.
Slow morning. Enter festival grounds by 1pm. Music till midnight, dinner from local food stalls.
Morning guided tour of a Ziro heritage village with the tribe. Festival from afternoon till 1am.
Yoga morning. Full day at the festival — the biggest headliners. Late-night bonfire back at camp.
Long drive back down. Evening arrival in Guwahati.
Honestly the best trip I've taken. The pacing was perfect and the group felt like family by day two.
The trip leader knew every viewpoint, every good chai stop, every shortcut. Ten out of ten. Would book again tomorrow.

The high-altitude cold desert of India, in one perfectly-paced expedition.

From cloud-forest monasteries to a frozen alpine lake at 17,800 feet.
The wettest place on earth, cleanest river in Asia, and bridges grown from roots.
