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.

'From the beginning I knew the trip was going to be soemthing extraordinary, but I wasn't prepared for the kindness of the nomads, the indescribable beauty of the Himalaya, the enormity of sky and earth, the texture, colors and profround silence that I found there. It filled my soul and emptied my brain of useless chatter. I have never felt so grounded or awed by my surroundings. Whether gasping my way up a trail at 16,000ft, or tucking into my tent at night, I felt filled with grace and gratitude for the privilege of being able to partake in such a life-changing experience.'
-Amy Palmer, Nomad Trek 2008
