After tough trek, all-women travel firm enjoys the view
Despite the stark cold desert topography with jagged peaks, Ladakh’s elemental beauty is almost meditative for travellers. White-washed monasteries sit atop peaks, with colourful fluttering prayer flags and spinning wheels around them sending out good vibes and blessings through the wind. But travelling in Ladakh is nothing short of an endurance test with oxygen-starved days and the discovery of new muscles that ache climbing up hillsides. This is the inspiring and challenging land where Thinlas Chorol, 37, founder of the Ladakhi Women’s Travel Co. (LWTC), grew up.
