Sable-eyed women gaze at you from beneath curving folds of crimson and gold–embroidered silk. They stand framed within the window of a palace they inhabit with 800 million fellow residents. It is an immense edifice with annexes built over the millenia by a lustrous succession of proprietors. The fragrances of sandalwood, incense, curry and blossoms perfume its halls; hallowed waters cascade from the uphill side to merge in the ocean waves lapping the foundation. Celebration and worship take place every day within its precinct. Young and old, rich and poor co-exist in its latticework of activity and dreams. Mandala Adventures opens the gateway to India and helps you feel at home in this teeming domain where sensation and encounter are not confined by the imaginable.
The magnificent Taj Mahal; the pastel oasis cities of Rajasthan; Hindu temples and bathing ghats descending into the holy Ganges at Varanasi: this journey is truly a feast for the senses!
Exquisite murals, statues and architecture preserved in the monasteries of ancient Ladakh attest to its former prominence on a southern artery of the old Silk Road.
Summer sunshine casts the rugged, breathtaking landscape of Ladakh in dazzling relief. Our trail winds through rose-colored canyons, medieval monasteries, and flocks tended by friendly shepherds.
