The Ultimate Adventure: Leh-Ladakh

Leh-Ladakh is an adventurer's dream where bliss meets adventure. The Epic Routes has helped countless adventurers brave this rugged, yet bestic land blessed with the most astounding beauty-theatre, age-old monasteries, and awe-inspiring activities.

The Must-See Places in Ladakh

Pangong Tso: One of the most remarkable lakes, this is the one for bright hues of blue and an air of tranquillity; nothing is ever going to be the same as witnessing sunrise or sunset.

Nubra Valley: Famous for its picturesque sandy dunes, Nubra Valley features an interesting combination of desert-like terrain in conjunction with snow-capped peaks in the background. It is a spiritual highlight for the Diskit Monastery, with its massive statue of Buddha.

Tso Moriri: A glorious high-altitude lake, this is another beautiful place that offers a less noisy experience than Pangong and yet is enthralling. Rugged hills surround it, offering excellent birdwatching opportunities.

Thrilling Adventures in Ladakh

Adventure truly defines everything about Ladakh. Those very high-altitude mountain passes, like Khardung La and Chang La, make for some amazing road trips. River rafting on Zanskar is a must for extreme sports lovers, while medium-range treks like the Chadar Trek across a frozen river or the Markha Valley Trek offer thrilling reminisces.

Ancient Monasteries and Local Culture

Ladakh in a monastery is nothing but a boozehoused yawl into very serious Buddhist asceticism. The Pordang-yig-po Mustvisit is the wonderful Festival Hemis Monastery, and the Thiksey Monastery in a hilltop complex but with Potala Palace-like characteristics is simply remarkable. You're going to love the zeal and hospitality of Ladakhi people, plus the chance to taste traditional fare like thukpa (noodle soup) and skyu (a pasta-like dish).

Preparation for Ladakh

Traveling to Ladakh is a planning affair, considering the prevalence of high-altitude terrain. Acclimatization is foremost, and every one of our itineraries will allow the necessary time to get used to the elevation. From the permit required in conjunction with specialized blister treatment by experienced guides, every aspect has been managed carefully. 

The Epic Routes takes care of every detail so you can focus on enjoying the journey.

Discover Untamed Beauty in Meghalaya

At The Epic Routes, we think that some of the best travel experiences arise from the unearthing of hidden gems inside the land. Meghalaya has carved a niche as the 'Abode of Clouds.' There is pretty much treasure in natural beauty, cultural richness, and adventure unfolded here.

Must Visit Waterfalls in Meghalaya

Meghalaya is a land of waterfalls, each having a story to tell. Nohkalikai Falls is the tallest plunge waterfall in India; its height of over 1,100 feet never fails to astound. The Seven Sisters Falls, considered Nohsngithiang Falls, is a breathtaking diversion during the monsoons as it cascades down in seven streams. Dainthlen Falls is also a treasure with local tales and awe-inspiring views.

Unique Living Root Bridges

These living root bridges of Meghalaya are quite a wonder both architectural and ecological. Made out of the aerial roots of rubber trees, these bridges are not only usable but also sustainable. The double-decker living root bridge, situated in Nongriat, should never be missed. Though steeply downhill, the trek to this marvel is well worth it, with scenic views and an opportunity to indulge in Khasi culture on the way.

Caves: Nature's Masterpieces in Meghalaya

Housing some of the most elaborate and designed cave systems in the country, Meghalaya is a spelunker's paradise. Mawsmai Caves are frequented by people since they are more accessible, containing marvellous limestone formations. The Siju and Liat Prah caves, which are among the longest in India, are suited for the more adventurous—if they strengthen the spirit enough to explore them. So these caves are nature's artistic brilliance by all standards.

Local Culture and Cuisine

Besides its natural splendor, Meghalaya raves you with its magnificent tapestry of culture. Unique traditions and foods belong to each one of them- the Khasi, Jaintia, and Garo tribes. Treat yourself to dishes such as Jadoh (rice with meat) and Tungrymbai (fermented soybean), or discover homemade crafts at the local markets. 

At The Epic Routes, we specialize in customizing Meghalaya itineraries to help you savor the natural beauty, embrace the culture, and partake in opportunities for adventure like never before.
