点评:We just returned from an incredible 2 week trip to the Himalayas through the Zanskar region and Ladakh! We were guided by the incredible Rahul Ogra of Mystic Himalayan Trails, and we couldn't have asked for a better guide to the region.
Rahul was knowledgeble in every area of trip - regarding the geography, landscape, flora, fauna, funga and the history of the place both political and spiritual. He introduced us to the local customs and traditions and made us feel at home with our hosts. A bonus to me personally, he focused on responsible sustainable travel, a leave no trace philosophy and a wonderful respect for not just the place but the planet as well.
Our trip started through the Zanskar region, where we saw incredible mountain scenery through snow capped passes, and stayed at humble homestays along the way. The hosts incredible warmth and hospitality made up for the cold nights!
As we reached Lamayuru and Leh, the landscape changed completely to a high altitude desert with rolling sandy hills. We visited some beautiful monasteries and Rahul gave us an in-depth explanation of the history and spirituality of these places. Each monastery felt completely different and beautiful in its own way. The Lamas were warm and welcoming and nothing compares to sitting in silent meditation in these places.
We later explored the wildlife and chased the night sky in eastern Ladakh on route to Hanle. Again the landscape changed to something completely different.
For me the trip was transformative - in ways that will continue to unfold over time. I wouldn't dream of visiting this region again without first consulting Rahul for his advice. Thank you again for an incredible experience!
翻译:我们刚刚结束了为期两周的喜马拉雅山脉之旅,途经赞斯卡地区和拉达克!这次旅行令人难忘。我们由Mystic Himalayan Trails的Rahul Ogra先生担任向导,他知识渊博,是我们此行遇到的最佳向导。
Rahul先生对旅程的各个方面都了如指掌——地理、景观、动植物、真菌,以及当地政治和精神历史。他向我们介绍了当地的风俗习惯,让我们在当地居民中感受到宾至如归的温暖。对我个人而言,他尤其注重负责任的可持续旅行,秉持“不留痕迹”的理念,并且对这片土地乃至整个地球都抱有极大的尊重。
我们的旅程从赞斯卡地区开始,沿途我们欣赏了白雪皑皑的山口,饱览了壮丽的山景,并入住了一些温馨的民宿。主人的热情好客弥补了夜晚的寒冷!
当我们到达拉玛玉鲁和列城时,景色骤然改变,变成了高海拔沙漠,绵延起伏的沙丘尽收眼底。我们参观了一些美丽的寺院,Rahul 为我们详细讲解了这些地方的历史和精神内涵。每座寺院都各具特色,美不胜收。喇嘛们热情好客,在这些地方静坐冥想的体验更是无与伦比。
之后,我们在前往汉勒的途中,探索了拉达克东部的野生动物,并追寻着璀璨的星空。沿途的景色再次变换,呈现出截然不同的风貌。
对我而言,这次旅行意义非凡,其影响还将随着时间的推移而不断显现。如果没有事先咨询 Rahul 的建议,我绝不会再次踏足这片土地。再次感谢您带给我如此美妙的体验!
