Tom Fordyce travelled to Ladakh, India with cazenove+loyd and his breath was taken away both by the altitude and by the views.
Nothing is as it seems in Ladakh. You're in India but the locals look Tibetan and practise Buddhism. You're in a dusty desert, but all around are icy mountains. The hills are brown scree, the valleys so lush you could be in Somerset.
And with cazenove+loyd you stay in the heart of unspoilt villages in authentic village houses but they have been adapted to offer modern amenities and the highest standards of comfort and hospitality. So during the day you experience the wild scenery and harsh mountain environment which makes Ladakh so special but return to a toasty warm, lantern-lit dining room in a tastefully modernised village house drinking a peaty Laphroaig by a wood-burning Bukhara.
Each cazenove+loyd itinerary is individually designed to a client's individual needs and interests. To discuss a holiday to India, please call one of our destination experts on +44 (0) 20 7384 2332.
