The Infinite Graciousness of the Unknown: Zanskar and Ladakh 20 Sept. Oct. 4th, 2024
A pilgrimage to the Indian Himalayas:
to contemplate the beauty of the high mountains and the stillness and power of the atmosphere there.
To be imbued by this atmosphere and integrate it into our being
To explore incredible culture
The Peace of the Tibetan monasteries,
The vibrations of the pujas
The blessings behind their words
To enjoy the happiness and simplicity of the people living in the most remote areas.
To recalibrate the inner life and relocate it at the center of our existence.
To realign with the divine.
And more…
Beginning in Delhi, the journey unfolds towards the Leh Festival, a vibrant celebration of culture and spirituality.
As we venture further, the serene Nubra Valley beckons, followed by the enchanting villages of Turtuk and Aryan Valley, each steeped in history and mystique.
The ancient monasteries of Alchi, with its intricate frescoes, and the remote Zanskar valley, with its revered sites in Padum, Karsha, and Phugtal, offer a glimpse into the region's rich spiritual heritage.
The journey concludes in the picturesque town of Manali, a haven for trekkers and pilgrims alike.
This odyssey weaves together the threads of faith, culture, and natural beauty, creating an unforgettable experience for the devout traveler.
