Walking tour of 'Little Tibet', the undiscovered north of India
The introduction to India begins with a series of dizzying impressions in Delhi, of the unreal extremes of the old and the new part of this pulsating metropolis. Then you'll fly into the serene Ladakh, India's most remote and undiscovered region, an oasis of calm. Not at the snowy peaks, fantastic monasteries, architectural palaces and spiritual stupas you will lose your heart, but to the most friendly inhabitants. Whether it's at Buddhist festival or in the sleepy villages you visit; families, monks and pilgrims invariably come to you with a smile.
