Trip Descriptions
Drawing from our extended experience in the region, we use our exceptional local connections to create distinctive journeys for adult groups and families who want to experience this remote former Himalayan Buddhist kingdom and breathtaking high-altitude desert landscape. Proceeds from these trips will support Vermont Intercultural Semesters, as well as grassroots initiatives working to improve Ladakhi livelihoods, to protect the traditional culture and preserve the environment of Ladakh.
