Amazing Ladakh

The fact that attracts me most about Ladakh is that it is a cold desert situated in the lap of the mighty Himalayan range and Karakoram Range. This place will entice your heart and mind and provide you with an essence of tranquillity.

A quiet corner of Western Himalayas, where the dawn breaks with chants of lamas and the valley goes to sleep with flickering lights of butter lamps in its various monasteries, Ladakh is a land like no other; a land unknown to outsiders for many centuries, a land of awesome beauty, stark landscape, towering mountain peaks and unique cultural heritage. This ancient culture finds its manifestation in its religion, fairs & festivals and passed from generation to generations through prayer and folklore. Rugged mountain side dotted with monasteries and gompas, ancient Tibetan-Buddhist culture and valleys filled with fluttering flags leave the first time traveler awestruck by its beauty. Cross the world’s highest motorable road to reach the cold desert of Nubra valley and the last habitat of ˜Double Humped Bactrian Camel. Traveling through this amazingly beautiful land leaves a memorable impression and a sense of self containment “ a journey through ˜Ancient Future.
