Ladakh and Kashmir

This region’s cuisine is as diverse as its landscapes, blending North Indian cuisine with flavors from the Himalayan region and Central Asian influences.

Popular dishes like rogan josh (a flavorful lamb curry), yakhni (a yogurt-based curry), and dum aloo (spicy potatoes) are served with rice or rotis. The region is also famous for its elaborate wazwan—a ceremonial meal featuring a variety of meticulously prepared dishes served during special occasions. The use of saffron, dried fruits, and yogurt adds distinctive flavors and richness to the dishes

It was a wonderful little spiritual tour (Chennai, Thiruvannamali, Auroville). As a 60-year-old first-time traveler to India, Christina helped me overcome all my concerns and uncertainties beforehand, gave me competent advice, always responded promptly, and spared no effort to make changes to the planning. I had a safe feeling from the start and was impressed by the high level of service. This was confirmed during the trip: everything went perfectly and I had an extra-prima-good time in colorful India. In any case, my driver Seenu and my Auroville guide Anantha Subbarayan also contributed to the unusually good success. I give both of them a standing ovation. Last but not least, my thanks also go to the local agency in Mamallapuram, Travel XS, with whom I hardly had any personal contact.
