THE GRAND TRANS-HIMALAYAN CROSSING

This is the ultimate bucket-list expedition for road trip enthusiasts. The Trans-Himalayan Crossing is a journey of dramatic transitions: from the lush green meadows of Srinagar to the stark, moon-like landscapes of Ladakh, and finally the cedar forests of Manali. You will traverse three iconic regions, cross the highest motorable passes in the world, and pay homage at historic war memorials. It is more than a tour; it is a life-changing traverse across the spine of the Himalayas.
