Safari Tours

Banjara Camps & Retreats (www.banjaracamps.com) operates a number of Trans-Himalayan jeep safaris, which generally start in Delhi and explore different parts of Himachal and Ladakh. Comfortable accommodations (some in beautifully situated deluxe campsites) and good meals accompany you along the way, and you can even customize your safari. Another outfitter that allows you to traverse the top of the world in comfort, Wilderness Trekkers (www.wilderness-trekkers.org), runs a weeklong adventure that takes in Himachal's Rohtang Pass, as well as some of Ladakh's most mesmerizing Buddhist gompas.
