LADAKH
! A remote mountain kingdom where time
seems to stand still, a lunar landscape so poignantly
beautiful that adjectives fail to do it justice!
Situated in the far north of India in the eastern
half of Jammu and Kashmir, the region has long
been a favorite among trekkers but with the rest
of Kashmir closed to tourism it gains popularity
with those who seek the offbeat…
A fascinating place
for a vacation be it hiking, biking or maybe just
visiting the monasteries that dot the length and
breadth of Ladakh. What we also highly recommend
to ALL is a visit to the high-altitude brackish
water lakes of Pangong-Tso and Tso Moriri and
a couple of days across the world's highest motorable
pass Khardungla to Nubra Valley. The Nubra Valley
is steeped in stories at once fantastic and gory.
Once the valley provided the link between India
and Afghanistan a part of the erstwhile 'Silk
Route' and many a traveller perished, so punishing
is the terrain.
