Set out on an unforgettable journey through the two most breathtaking faces of northern India. Kashmir welcomes you with emerald lakes, Mughal gardens and the snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas, while Ladakh reveals the stark high-altitude landscapes and Buddhist monasteries of “Little Tibet”. Along the way: a shikara cruise on Dal Lake, a night aboard a houseboat, and drives along some of the highest roads on earth.
