Leh Ladhakh

Its landscape, sky, shooting stars, silence, wizened faces, rosy cheeks, dragons and Zen everything makes Ladakh a quite place to visit. This ethereal cold desert that goes by names such as The Last Shangrila , Moonscape, Little Tibet and so many others all of which ring true, is a land that seldom fails to baffle or surprise.

The start and rugged landscape is situated amidst multiple-hued mountains, some smooth enough to rub your cheeks on, others scraggly as though termites have had a go at them for breakfast. Miles and stretches of this never-never land, surprised by quaint little vibrant green hamlets oozing wild roses and lavender, fringe the life-giving Indus River. Ladakh is a land like no other. Bounded by two of the world's mightiest mountain ranges, the Great Himalaya and the Karakoram, it lies athwart two other, the Ladakh range and the Zanskar range.
