We all love travelling but as we reach the 60s we tend to slow down or take a pause as far as travelling is concerned. It has been observed it is more of a society conditioning, at this age there are health issues but it is more of the idea that when you are entering the so-called ‘old age’ you cannot travel that much.
Well, that isn’t how it should be. Life should be enjoyed every moment; every stage and age has its own charm. These days we are hearing stories of grandmas and grandpas packing up their bags and going on sacred trips or holidays by themselves or with their families.
Many feel that it is like a sense of achievement, like starting a new chapter of life! Travelling with your age group or with your family and not staying back just because you are 60+ gives so much confidence, charges you to live life fully and strengthens your relationships even more.
Happy to see many nanis, nanas, dadis and dadas getting out of their rocking chairs and doing the unbelievable. With a little practical planning, one can enjoy any trip even places like Ladakh.
Yes, the moment you hear Ladakh, thoughts of tough terrain, cold, low oxygen and what not start clouding your plans. But if you are prepared this journey can just transform your life.
Some of our recent travellers have explored Ladakh the way they should irrespective of their age. It surely was the best trip of their lives so far! They took the team’s advise of resting for the first two days so that they can acclimatise well and then what, there was no stopping ☺
From visiting the interiors of Ladakh, exploring villages, meeting and connecting with the locals to spending a night at the Pangong Lake to enjoying a hot cup of tea at the world’s highest road Khardungla to learning how to cook Ladakhi food to chanting with the monks at one of the Monasteries – this and a lot more they fully enjoyed.
While discovering this paradisiacal place they surely rediscovered themselves and are geared up to go to many such other trips.
Some handy tips – take your doctor’s advise if you are a blood pressure patient, or have acute asthma; carry your medicines; keep yourself hydrated; pack some dry fruits, light-snacks like healthy namkeen; fruits; homemade laddoos, this will help you keep your digestion in place while commuting in and around Ladakh.

Come and experience Ladakh the way you should and set an example to the many others in the society that retirement doesn’t mean living life to the fullest is over. Life begins every moment!!
