The archaeology of Ladakh

An excavation, and the country around it.

All journeys

Ladakh lies beyond the high passes of the Himalaya, on what was once a crossroads of the Silk Road.

This journey follows the excavations under way there: the sites, the questions they raise, and the people working on them. It also reaches much of historic and religious Ladakh that most tours miss.
