Ladakh photo tour “Incredible Himalayas” calculated at a comfortable level:
The hotel in Lech will be wonderful, these are real 5 stars:
round-the-clock room heating, hot water, internet, chic apartments, a magnificent restaurant with delicious cuisine.

But the guest house on Lake Tso-Moriri is more than modest: in fact, it is a home station, i.e. Accommodation in an ordinary Tibetan house with our friends.
That is why the “Incredible Himalayas” photo tour has “Extreme” and “For the brave” markers - tourists at this time do not visit the alpine lake Tso Moriri, the conditions will be minimal,
But we will have an incredible opportunity to take pictures on Tso Moriri in November, when almost no one but the locals gets here.
Also, special attention is paid to cars working on a photo tour of Ladakh - we will move very comfortably.
We will stop wherever we want, stops for taking pictures along the photo tour route - on demand.
A lot of time will be devoted to the most diverse types of photography: landscape, genre, portraiture, photography of Buddhist rituals.

Recommendations and rules for photo travelers and travelers in Ladakh, Zanskar and the Spiti Valley (Little Tibet).

Short info

Incredible Himalayas - this phrase is the most accurate name for the November photo tour in Ladakh, Little Tibet, India.
Why?
Because in a very short time - 10 days - the program of this photo tour contains a magnificent collection of incredible events, fantastic places and landscapes, close contact with the culture of Tibetan Buddhism.
Why is intimate contact?
Because the photo tour is held in a completely non-tourist season: and, most likely, we will be the only travelers who will enjoy watching and photographing the Buddhist sacred ceremony of Chamdey Angchok in the huge Buddhist Monastery-City of Ladakh - Chamdey Gonpa.
It also means that we will be the only photographers in the monastery square and our photographs will be unique, and when photographing, we will not interfere with each other and push around in a dense crowd of photographers, as happens in Ladakh monasteries at the summer Buddhist mysteries with Tsam Dance, and it means - purely from a spatial point of view, let us unfold our creativity and imagination when shooting at full strength.
And also we will fall into two very beautiful places from all points of view - on the high mountain lake Tso Moriri and drive through the entire Lamayuru valley, along the top road to the most beautiful place Moon Land - Lunar Earth.
Typically, photographers visit these places in the summer, and the pictures of Tso Moriri and Lamayuru, captured in November, have never come across.
But it must be very beautiful: the autumn Tso Moriri - in all its autumn power of the water surface of the alpine lake and the beautiful Lamayuru - are still not covered in snow, but already harsh, preparing for winter.
The photo tour is fully consistent with its markers: EXTREME AND FOR THE BOLD, and involves visiting the highlands very distant from Lech, including spending the night in the Changpa nomad house on Lake Tso Moriri.
The trip is so saturated with a wide variety of events that it obviously will not correspond to the time allotted for it: and if only 10 days pass on the calendar, then for photographers they will become Ladakh Eternity).
By the way, it is from such photo tours that personal photo exhibitions are brought).
A lot of all types of photography are planned: landscape and panoramic photography, ethnographic photography, portrait and genre photography.
For beginner photographers, this photo tour is an opportunity to go through a good school of photography in the field.
For curious travelers, whose presence is also welcomed in this Ladakh photo tour, this is an opportunity to get acquainted with the culture of Tibetan Buddhism and, if you wish, start learning to take pictures.

Day 1, November 11: Delhi - Leh (air flight). Adaptation. Leh, walks in the Old City, height 3 600 m.
Arrival at New Delhi International Airport (India) from your country of residence.
We issue an electronic visa, get luggage and go to one of the terminals of local airlines:
D3 is in the same building
D2 - a little further, you need to turn left from the building of the terminal of international airlines and walk 100 m through the tunnel.
This is a common practice on our tours in Ladakh:
flights on which participants of our tours fly to New Delhi airport usually arrive at terminal D3 from 2 to 5 in the morning, immediately go to the departure terminal and fly off to Leh in one of the morning flights.
We take air tickets for the Delhi – Leh flight so that the time margin between external and internal flights is 3-4 hours.
Flight Delhi-Leh, 1 hour 20 minutes.
By the way, the Leh-Delhi flight itself is a stunningly beautiful sight, since we will fly over to the Himalayan Range.
We recommend booking seats on the port side of the aircraft in advance - when landing in Leh, this side is the most shooting.

The mystery of Chamdey Angchok is accompanied by Dances of Tsam Lamas of high initiations in ancient ritual masks and costumes and communication of trained monks with spirits through the oracle.
Since the holiday is held around the clock, these two days will be very eventful - events, photography, emotions.
For information: The sacred ritual ritual dance of Tsam is performed by Lamas, dressed in solemn costumes and masks depicting the gods.
In essence, Tsam is a dance-meditation, during which the gods seem to come to life in the minds of not only Lamas, but also pilgrims and are present at the festival with all believers.

In general, we can say that in these two days we will find ourselves in a completely alternative version of our world.
By the way, this photo in Photoshop or another graphics editor was practically not processed, a clean frame.
How to photograph in this way is also one of the points of our lectures on photography during the November photo tour.

Buddhist Mystery with cham dance performance. Phototour Incredible Himalayas-2: Tsam dance at Tiksei monastery + Tso Moriri lake, Ladakh, Tibet, 11.11.-20.11.2020.

We have been visiting Buddhist mysteries with the performance of Tsam Dance since 2010.
And still not used to the fact that these are Masks.
Here the world really changes, the Masks come to life, the world becomes completely different and very strange and essentially correct events occur.
During our trip, we will talk a lot about the culture of living Tibetan Buddhism.
And about the Mysteries - including.

It will be all:
the emotional, lively faces of Tibetan grandmothers who come to the mystery in ancient family decorations and national costumes, there will be pujas - with long trumpets and bass Tibetan drums, there will be children - their faces open, and there will be - Tsam Dance - the purest and most honest of all seen us on this planet action.
And the Buddhist monastery Chamdei Gonpa, which in itself is one of the most unique city-monasteries of the Ladakh Valley.

Today we will visit two Buddhist monasteries Matho Gonpu and Stakna Gonpu, each of which is unique in its own way even for the Ladakh Valley.
Stakna Monastery (Stakna Gompa) is a small and very beautiful Buddhist monastery of the Drukpa Kagyu tradition.

Buddhist monastery Stagna Gonpa, Hindu River Valley. Phototour Incredible Himalayas-2: Tsam dance at Tiksei monastery + Tso Moriri lake, Ladakh, Tibet, 11.11.-20.11.2020.

Stakna Gompa was founded at the end of the 16th century by Bhutanese scientists and Lama Chosce Jamyang Palkar.
The name of Stakna Gompa literally translates as “tiger nose”, and was given to the monastery because it stands on a hill resembling a tiger.
In the gompa is the famous statue of Arya Avalokiteshvara from Kamrup.

Statue of Avalokiteshvara in the monastery of Stakna Gonpa. Phototour Incredible Himalayas-2: Tsam dance at Tiksei monastery + Tso Moriri lake, Ladakh, Tibet, 11.11.-20.11.2020.

About 30 monks live in the monastery.
Stakna Gompa is also interesting in that it is the only monastery in the Ladakh Valley where Bhutanese influence can be traced:
from the atmosphere of the monastery to the frescoes of the 16th century, which decorated the prayer room.

Matho Monastery, Matho Gompa (also Mashale, Masho, Mashro, Matho) is a very unusual monastery, the only monastery of the Sakya-pa tradition of Tibetan Buddhism.
The Matho Monastery was built in the first half of the 16th century.
The monastery is famous for its carved wooden decor, thangkas, including mandalas.
Every year, the oracle festival takes place in the monastery, where monks who have gone through lengthy retreats receive the power to predict and, standing on the parapet, blindfolded perform amazing feats in handling swords and knives.
There are two monk oracles constantly living in the monastery, and perhaps we will be able to meet them.

Day 6, November 16: Leh - Alpine lake Tso-Moriri. Altitude 4,800 m, distance of about 250 km.
Today will begin what is why this tour has two markers “EXTREME” and “FOR THE BOLD” - we will go to a long and interesting from a landscape point of view, road to the high mountain lake Tso Moriri.

Tso Moriri, Tsomoriri, Tso Moriri, Tso Moriri - the most beautiful alpine lake in Indian Tibet, is located 215 km southeast of Leh at an altitude of 4595 m above sea level.
The maximum length of the lake is 19 km, the maximum width is 3 km, and the maximum depth is 40 m. It is the largest alpine lake in the trans-Himalayan region within India.
The water in the lake is slightly salty.
For tourists, Lake Tso Moriri is only available during the summer season.
Until 1959, local residents were engaged in the extraction of salt (tsokar, in the local Ladakh) from the lake.
On the shore of the lake is the Karzok Gompa Monastery, where we were on a holiday this summer, and around the monastery there is a small village of the same name.
In summer, the air temperature ranges from 0 ° to 30 ° C, and in winter from −10 to −40.
Changpa nomadic shepherds live here mainly.
It is in the winter Tibetan houses of our friends Changpa that we spend the night on our only night on Tso Moriri.

Why are we going to Tso Moriri in November?
Because Tso Moriri is simply a magical place for photographers: it is a mirror lake, reflecting, in the smallest details, copying reality.
Tso Moriri is a very, stunningly beautiful lake in the summer, and I really want to shoot rare photographs of the November frowning Tso Moriri for world photographers.

Upper Lamayuru Valley, Fotu La Pass, Ladakh. Phototour Incredible Himalayas-2: Tsam dance at Tiksei monastery + Tso Moriri lake, Ladakh, Tibet, 11.11.-20.11.2020.

The light here is constantly changing, the light is constantly floating, moving
and with it everything changes - colors, shades, valley pattern, sensations ...
The meanings do not change, they are simply elusive in this continuous fluidity of Space and Time.
Kaleidoscope Valley - take a step to the side and everything is different.
Look the other way, then you turn around - and you don’t know where you are.
I don’t understand how to describe this feeling in words - it’s very similar to when you go through the worlds - as in Amber.
Here, Time is felt in a special way - each step tangibly moves not only through Space, but also through Time: Time here also ceases to be a habitually unnoticed state.
No, there is a real feeling of movement within Time, through - very similar to that which arises when you walk along the road calmly and without purpose.

In the middle of the day we will climb the Fotu La pass (4006 m) and Lamayuru will open before us in full view.
