Clean up trek to the apricot valley!

Responsible travels initiative!

We at Active Adventure Ladakh after our successful participation and support for the first ever cycling competition to  the khardong la pass the world highest motorable road, we are now organising a clean-up trek along with the apricot valley with the responsible initiative by our dedicated staffs and some of our clients.
The objective behind organising such trips is to create an opportunity to exchanges ideas between the visitors and the host community/the villagers. As we believe that our local farmers have many stories to share with what they have experienced in the last few decades with many changes …from the cash economy to the climate changes!
So if you have enough time while your stay in Ladakh join this programme and learn from the local people- ofcourse share your experiences from the west or the metropolitans lives!
