Endeavour Ladakh - Delhi & Ladakh
Endeavour in Indo-Tibet:
Contact us for your own bespoke corporate adventure.
Endeavour Ladakh is a multi-stage adventure over four consecutive days on the high desert plateau of Ladakh. A chance to explore this remote and unique part of India.
We start in Delhi, from the crazed streets to the colonial majesty of the Maidens Hotel; a quick flight up to the Tibetan plateau leads to the remote high desert region of Ladakh. Flying to the capital city of Leh, overlooked by the ancient Leh Palace and surrounded by mountains and monasteries close to the mighty River Indus, this little visited and remote part of the world offers true adventure.
Suppose the Endeavour India is likened to a “Cake” of Adventure. In that case, the Endeavour Ladakh is a “Steaming hot chai with extra spice” of an adventure. With all the fun, frolics, chaos and majesty of Delhi, mix the magic of local expertise, dramatic and harsh high desert and mountain scenery with excitement straight from a Tin Tin book, and season with a generous sprinkling of adrenaline and adventure.

Why is Endeavour India different from other adventure races? Perhaps it can be described as a “cake” of adventure:
‘Mix your ingredients of expert race planners, local knowledge, beautiful terrain and the wonder of India. Season the mix with mental and physical team building, beasting and survival training. Then turn up the heat, to create a four day adventure race with a theme that Indiana Jones and Lara Croft would be envious of. Serve with all the trimmings of the Raj and the spirit of Dalai Lama.
