Ladakh Backpackers is a locally rooted travel company offering alternative and meaningful travel experiences across the breathtaking landscapes of Ladakh. From sweeping bird’s eye views of the Himalayas to intimate stays in cosy homestays, off beat trails, and thoughtfully chosen resorts set amidst snow clad mountains, our journeys bring travellers closer to the land and its people.

We are a team of locals from Ladakh, based in the northernmost region of India, with a deep understanding of its culture, history, and fragile ecology. We strongly believe in meaningful and sustainable travel. Our team includes researchers and experienced tourism professionals who specialise in curating immersive itineraries that go beyond conventional tour packages. While our name reflects a spirit of exploration, we also design private and luxury journeys, tailored with the same depth and responsibility.

Founded in 2016 and driven by an enduring passion for travel, Ladakh Backpackers is a young and motivated team united by a shared vision of alternative tourism. We create customised journeys for travellers seeking to explore rugged mountains, pristine lakes, high altitude plateaus, nomadic valleys, and ancient villages dotted with monasteries, stupas, and khanqahs. Our experiences invite guests to trace the Indian section of the historic Silk Route, discovering a remarkable landscape that once connected Ladakh to Central Asia.
