Pashmina Trails

There is a story behind every strand of pashmina (otherwise known as Cashmere) , spun from the world’s highest plateaus and warmed by fires that know tales older than time. Pashmina Trails is a journey into the heart of this story, where threads of “soft gold” wind through history, from emperors to artisans. Following in the footsteps of the Changpa nomads, we learn their careful ways—how they guide their Changra goats across the high-altitude plains, spinning memories into fibre that will be woven into the world’s most coveted shawls. Here, among towering mountains and beneath vast skies, you touch the origins of pashmina and weave your own story into the legacy of this ancient land.

Spirits of the Mountains

Winter wraps Ladakh in a cloak of silence, a hush that feels sacred. And it’s in this stillness that Spirits of the Mountains unfolds—a journey through Ladakh’s mystical winter, where oracles gather, channelling ancient prophecies at the Matho Nagrang festival, their voices rising beneath snow-laden skies. Here, in the shadows of frozen cliffs, the elusive snow leopard moves like a whisper, while ibex graze with a vigilance sharpened by the cold. Ladakh in winter feels otherworldly, as if one is walking through a myth, where every footstep in the snow echoes with the stories of this land. This journey touches the sacred and the sublime, a chance to witness Ladakh’s raw beauty in winter’s quietest hours, where earthly life and the spirit world meet.

Chasing Spring

Spring in Ladakh begins like a slow, lazy stretch—a sleepy awakening as the land begins to shed its winter coat. The valleys blush with apricot blooms, and there’s a crispness to the air as the world hums back to life. In Chasing Spring, we follow this gentle unravelling, chasing the season’s secrets as they unfurl across Ladakh’s many faces. Each village holds a different note of spring—lush orchards, quiet trails, the aroma of apricot blossoms mingling with the warmth of sunlit days. Nights are spent beneath trees that shiver with new leaves, while nearby, bear cubs are carefully taught the ways of the wild. It’s an experience that is both tender and grand—a walk through spring’s many chapters, from blossom to bud, from sweetness to fruit, wrapped in Ladakh’s gentle embrace.
