Trekking in Ladakh is different from hiking in the West. The trails are the lifeline between villages and you will share these trails with monks on their way to remote monasteries and shepherds going to high pasture. The landscape is magnificent and dramatic. After the trek we will return to Leh for a final dinner celebration. We then fly together to New Delhi for a last day before we head to our respective homes.
Tibetan medicine is a holistic method of curing mental and physical diseases.
It is a comprehensive art of healing with its own philosophy, method of diagnosis and treatment. Amchi medicine is an indigenous version of Tibetan medicine. Traditionally Ladakhi doctors traveled to Tibet for training and obtained medicinal plants through trade with Tibet. Since the closure of Ladakh's borders with Tibet, such links have been served. But, because of the strong hereditary lineages of traditional doctors as well as the abundance of medicinal plants in the high altitude valleys, amchi medicine is still actively practiced in Ladakh.
