Here's what Alipta Jena, one of our participants on the Sep 2015 trip to Ladakh, has to say about her experience -
"If you believe in experiencing a place with all five senses — including sight, sound and taste — Journeys with Meaning will fulfil all your dreams of the perfect experience. Every single day and turn on the road was made memorable and i actually lived and breathed Ladakh in the 10 days that I was there. It was adventure, learning, fun, introspection and living life the best possible way. Every aspect of nature and the places we went to came wonderfully alive, making it a life changing experience. Along with making new friends I came away with certain lessons that I will keep for the rest of my life. Thanks a lot! Looking forward to my next memorable journey with you."

LADAKH
Exploring cultures other than their own can help visitors and locals in many ways, but tourism has to be done far more responsibly to be sustainable. It is possible to have a balance between 'ecology' and 'economy', and one need not suffer at the expense of the other.
Join us on a 11-day journey to Ladakh, a region one can still experience the poetry of nature, where ancient monasteries, jaw-droppingly spectacular lakes, an expansive high-altitude desert, and a carefree, happy people reach out, and find a place in your hearts. This makes you peer into the past and lets you experience how life once was and, more importantly, how it can be if we learn to respect, and live with, nature.
We will be interacting with local people and organisations in an attempt to understand better how the objective of balancing ecology and economy can be achieved.

CONFIRMING YOUR PARTICIPATION
Please confirm your participation at the earliest by sending in the advance amount.
