Featured Trip
In ten years, you won't remember the emails you sent, but you will remember the morning the sun hit the peaks of the Zanskar Range. Let’s make that happen.
By next decade, you won’t recall the boardroom slide decks, but you will recall the bond your team forged in the scenic nature of Ladakh . Let’s make that happen.
A decade later, you won't mind the messages you never sent, but you will treasure the peace found in the orchards of Tiri under a blanket of stars. Let’s make that happen.
Years from now, you won't value the routine of your daily gym, but you will value the grit it took to pedal, trek, and paddle across the high peaks. Let’s make that happen.
Down the road, you won't think about another quiet Saturday, but you will think about the adrenaline surge while doing extreme adventure. Let’s make that happen.
Custom Trip
At Summit and Saddle, we craft adventures your way — whether it’s customizing an existing itinerary, scheduling a standard tour on your preferred dates, or designing a completely unique journey just for you
Why US?
Tailored Adventures, Just for You
No two travelers are the same—and neither are our trips. Whether it’s a high-altitude trek, a scenic cycling route, or a quiet stay in a Ladakhi village homestay, we design every itinerary around your pace, passion, and purpose. Your journey, your way.
Local Experts. Lifelong Connections
Our guides aren’t just professionals—they’re born-and-raised Ladakhis who know these mountains like the back of their hand. With every step or turn, they’ll share untold stories, cultural insights, and genuine warmth that no guidebook can offer.
Safe and Soulful Journeys
From sturdy bicycles, bikes and trusted SUVs to oxygen support in high-altitude zones, your safety is our priority. We take you off the tourist track—into monasteries, meals, and moments that reveal the real Ladakh, responsibly and respectfully.
We Lead. We Don't Outsource.
Every trip—be it a trek, cycling expedition, or road tour—is personally curated and led by our in-house team. No middlemen, no surprises. Just hands-on expertise, consistent quality, and a team that treats your journey like their own.

Not packaged tourism.
Just honest adventures, designed by those who’ve been there before.
Founder
Jigmet was born in a small village in Ladakh and grew up on the trails he now guides. After studying in Leh and Delhi, he spent a year in Germany working on an organic farm with travelers from around the world, where he learned the importance of careful planning and responsible travel.
He returned to Ladakh to do what he does best — guiding. Over two years, he led 30+ treks and cultural expeditions, helping travelers experience Ladakh beyond the surface through authentic connections with monasteries, villages, and local communities.
Summit and Saddle is his commitment to sharing Ladakh the right way — with respect, responsibility, and experiences travelers won’t find anywhere else.
Driver cum Route Stratigist
Rigzen has spent over 15 years navigating Ladakh’s most challenging roads — from the sand dunes of Nubra Valley to the barren isolation of Changthang, the treacherous passes between Srinagar and Leh, the winding descents into Manali, and the remote, river-crossed trails of Zanskar.
He doesn’t just drive routes — he knows them. Every hairpin turn on Khardung La. Every weather pattern that changes road conditions within hours. His knowledge isn’t from maps or GPS — it’s from years of experience earned on mountain roads where mistakes aren’t options.
Rigzen isn’t just a driver. He’s your guardian on the mountains, ensuring every journey is as safe as it is unforgettable
