TRAVERSE ... Into Thin Air Into Thin Air is a 14 day adventure that will immerse you into vast abundance of spectacular, ancient and diverse landscapes and cultures that is the Indian Hima- layas. From Shimla to Srinagar, we journey amongst some of the most beautiful nature and wonderfully endear- ing people, and should prove to be a ride beyond your wildest dreams! This adventure begins with a train ride to Shimla and then onto riding a Royal Enfield through the lush green pastures, and endless tarmac twisties of Him- achel Pradesh. Before you know it, you'll wind your way through some jaw dropping gorges tackling an array of terrain and up to some of the worlds’ highest moun- tain passes, lakes and glaciers, including Khardung La (5602m) and high altitude desert regions of Zanskar and Ladakh. We’ll visit some of the oldest (thousands of years) and remotest monasteries and temples that are still standing today, where Buddhism and Hinduism is still practiced. On this adventure we'll finally make our way for a re- laxing stay on a house boat on the Dal Lake in Srinagar before flying back to Delhi. Is there really any other way to finish an adventure?
