Overview
Ladakh, a high-altitude region in northern India, is known for its stark beauty, rugged landscapes, and unique culture. Nestled between the Himalayas and the Karakoram ranges, Ladakh is characterized by its vast desert plains, snow-capped peaks, and crystal-clear lakes like Pangong Tso and Tso Moriri. The region offers unparalleled opportunities for adventure, including trekking, mountaineering, and river rafting, while also being a spiritual hub, home to ancient Buddhist monasteries such as Hemis, Thiksey, and Diskit.

Leh, the largest town, is a gateway to exploring Ladakh’s remote valleys and passes, including the famous Nubra Valley and the world’s highest motorable road, Khardung La. Despite its harsh winters, Ladakh’s rich heritage and awe-inspiring landscapes make it a must-visit destination for both nature lovers and adventure seekers.
