Leh Ladakh Tour
Leh Ladakh Tour
Ladakh is a mountainous region in the disputed northwest Jammu and Kashmir area in north India and in the area known as the Trans-Himalaya. The people are a mixture of Buddhist and Muslim 50% of each. Travellers are likely to see more of the Buddhists as the majority of
the tourist attractions are in the east and directly related to Tibetan
Buddhist culture. Leh is the heart of the Leh district and capital of Ladakh in the state of Jammu and Kashmir, India. It's a small town, easy to get most places by foot. The old town is a
compact area of mud brick houses and narrow lanes directly to the east
of Main Bazar. Changspa is the agricultural "suburb" northwest of the
center, with many guesthouses. Key to accessing the Nubra Valley via Khardong-lha world highest road.
Choglamsar - a village with a large Tibetan community, almost close enough to Leh to be a suburb.
"Leh Ladakh is also called paradise for bike riders."
ATTRACTIONS
Ladakh is not only home to some of the most beautiful and serene
monasteries you'll ever see, but it also a land of rich natural beauty -
and it's this natural beauty that hits you so hard, because it's a
barren beauty. Many travellers find themselves at a loss to understand
how something so barren can yet be so beautiful. Be respectful, these
are holy places and active monks in most of them.
Pangong Lake
This is a popular trip to Pangong Tso Lake and can be done by taxi/bike.
Most people do it as a day trip starting early in the morning and come
back in the evening. However, there are arrangements for the stay near
the lake in Lukung & Spangmik and one can stay overnight either in
tents or at several guest houses to enjoy this place at a slower pace.
The Hemis Monastery
This is the largest monastery of Ladakh. Tourists can find at least 150
lamas living in the monastery, at any point of time throughout the
year. Hemis is famous for a huge painting of Buddha, which is brought to
the public or displayed to the public only once in 11 years of the time
period.
Pangong Tso
A beautiful high altitude lake at 4350 meters with deep blue waters,
surrounded by tall mountain peaks. This lake lies on the Indo - China
boundary, with only one fourth of the lake being in India. The road to
this lake passes through Chang-la pass. There is also a small camp on the way where a Yak Safari can be done. The passage is also very tough to cross by car.

with many rivers to be crossed.
