British Exploring Society - Indian Himalaya Ladakh

With altitudes reaching over 7500m, Ladakh is a landscape of extremes, nestled between the world’s mightiest mountain ranges. This is a truly spectacular place. The unique climate supports some rare wildlife including snow leopards, chiru, yaks and migratory Himalayan bird species. Experience the unique culture of the villages of the Himalayas. As you ascend higher, you will leave behind the bustle of local markets and monasteries and experience a sense of isolation and remote silence which has remained almost unbroken since the days when adventurous traders travelled through these parts on the ancient silk routes.

Plus you will take part in gathering scientific data whilst documenting your extraordinary experience through photography and adventure film-making.
