Journeys to the Himalayas
Rising like a crystalline crown along India's northern frontier, the Great Himalayas encompass high-altitude desert moonscapes in Ladakh, emerald cedar forests in Himachal, sacred glacial river headwaters in Uttarakhand, and the towering guardian peak of Kanchenjunga in Sikkim. Here, ancient cliffside Tibetan monasteries whisper profound silence, prayer flags dance upon mountain passes at 5,000 meters, and travelers find an inner stillness found nowhere else on Earth.
