<p><strong>FOR THE 2011 TRIP PLEASE VISIT THE NEW WEBSITE: <a href="http://ladakh2011.wordpress.com/">http://ladakh2011.wordpress.com/</a><img class="alignleft" title="On Dal lake" src="http://jayachitta.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/copy-of-ladakh-08-0541.jpg?w=276&#038;h=206" alt="" width="276" height="206" />                                                                                  </strong><strong>A magical trip in a stunning landscape!</strong></p>
<p>From Delhi we will first visit the beautiful Srinagar in Kashmir, where we will stay in house boats on the Dal Lake. We will explore the historic centre of the town, including the oldest mosque and  the stunning Shalimar Gardens. We will spend time in the surrounding countryside, see the swimming gardens and morning vegetable market on the lake and some of the beautiful arts and crafts made in the area. For two days we will do some trecking in the lower foothills of the Himalayas.</p>
<p>Then the journey continues through wide open spaces, unearthly looking rock formations and past snow-clad peaks until we reach Leh, the capital of Ladakh.</p>
<p><img class="alignright" title="Leh with prayer flags" src="http://jayachitta.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/cimg03242.jpg?w=300&#038;h=225" alt="" width="300" height="225" />There we can meet a Buddhist culture that is preserved in it&#8217;s ancient ways like nowhere else in the world. We will visit monasteries, can take part in ceremonies and meet the Ladakhis who welcome for-eigners with a bis smile and friendly &#8216;jullee!&#8217;                   Buddhists and Moslems have lived here side by side in harmony for many centuries. Even the largest mosque has elements of Tibetan architec-ture. We will visit the Royal Palace and the ancient part of the town. - After a few days to acclimatize to the height we then travel over the highest motorable pass in the world (Khardung-La Pass) to enter the Nubra Valley, &#8216;Valley of Flowers&#8217; that has only recently been opened up to visitors; it forms a part of the ancient silk route.</p>

<p><strong>Eine magische Reise durch phantastische Landschaft!</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://jayachitta.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/ladakh-08-120b1-e1263396262820.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-141" title="ladakh 08 120b" src="http://jayachitta.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/ladakh-08-120b1-e1263396262820.jpg?w=281&#038;h=193" alt="" width="281" height="193" /></a>Von Delhi reisen wir zuerst in das wunderschöne Srinagar, der Hauptstadt von Kaschmir, wo wir in einem Hausboot auf dem Dal See übernachten werden. Wir erkunden die historische Stadt selbst, auch die <span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;">ä</span>ltesten Moschee und den phantastischen Shalimar G<span style="font-family:Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size:small;">a</span></span>rten. Wir erforschen die umliegende Landschaft, besuchen die schwimmenden G<span style="font-family:Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size:small;">ä</span></span>rten, den morgendlichen Markt auf dem See, und können die ganz besonderen örtlichen Kunsthandwerke bewundern. Für zwei Tage werden wir in den niedrigeren Vorbergen des Himalaya trekken gehen.</p>
<p>Dann führt unsere Reise weiter durch die offene Weite, an schneebedeckten Gipfeln und ausserirdisch anmutenden Gesteinsformationen vorbei, bis wir Leh erreichen, die grösste Stadt Ladakhs.</p>
<p><a href="http://jayachitta.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/ladakh-08-434-e1263396976810.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-138" title="ladakh 08 434" src="http://jayachitta.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/ladakh-08-434-e1263396976810.jpg?w=254&#038;h=300" alt="" width="254" height="300" /></a>Dort können wir der buddhistischen Religion und Kultur begegnen, die ursprünglicher erhalten ist, als irgendwo sonst auf der Welt.  Wir werden Klöster besuchen, können dort Zeremonien beobachten, und wir werden viele Ladakhis treffen, die Fremde mit einem freundlichen &#8216;Jullee!&#8217; begrüssen. Buddhisten und Moslems haben hier seit einigen Jahrhunderten grossenteils sehr friedlich zusammen gelebt. Selbst in der Architektur der grössten Moschee l<span style="font-family:Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size:small;">ä</span></span>sst sich der tibetische Einfluss sehen. Nach ein paar Tagen, in denen wir uns an die Höhe gewöhnen, fahren wir weiter zum Nubratal, dem &#8216;Tal der Blumen&#8217;, das erst vor wenigen Jahren für Besucher geöffnet wurde. Auf dem Weg überqueren wir Khardung-La, den höchsten befahrbaren Pass der Welt, um in das Tal zu kommen in dem zwei strahlend türkise Flüsse fliessen, und in der ehemals die Seidenstrasse entlangführte &#8230;</p>
