Walking tour of ‘Little Tibet,’ India’s undiscovered north<\/h2>\n

The introduction to India begins with a series of dizzying impressions in Delhi<\/strong><\/a>, of the unreal extremes of the old and new parts of this pulsating metropolis. Next, you will fly the serene Ladakh<\/strong><\/a> , India’s most remote and undiscovered region, an oasis of tranquility. You will lose your heart not to the snow-capped peaks, fantastic monasteries, architectural palaces and spiritual stupas, but to the most friendly residents. Whether at Buddhist festival <\/strong>is or in the sleepy villages you visit; families, monks and pilgrims invariably meet you with a smile.<\/p>\n
