VILLAGE
PEOPLE
Head for the Himalayas this
summer and go trekking in style with Shakti Ladakh's seven-night
Village Experience. Instead of sleeping in a hostel bunk bed after a
day of hard hiking, travellers can stay in traditional village
houses - they have been spruced up by Shakti but local families
still live in them - promising an authentic experience. Days are
spend negotiating remote areas of Ladakh's high altitude desert by
foot or 4x4 vehicle; expect to be wowed by views of rugged mountains
and twinkling turquoise lakes (Shaktihimalaya.com).
