PANORAMA OF LADAKH |
|
 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.

Pangong Lake, situated at 14,000 feet (4,267 m), is a long narrow basin of inland drainage, hardly six to seven kilometers at its widest point and over 135 km long. About 1/3rd of the lake is under Indian occupation and remaining under China. The Chinese border is just beyond the mountains across the lake. Spangmik, 7 km along the southern shore from the head of the lake is the farthest point to which foreigners are permitted. There are spectacular views of the mountains of Changchenmo range to the north and their shimmering reflection in the ever-changing blues and greens of the lake’s brackish waters is breathtaking. Above Spangmik are the glaciers and snow-capped peaks of the Pangong range. Spangmik and other scattered tiny villages along the lake’s southern shore are the summer homes of a scanty population of Chang-pa, the semi-nomadic herdsmen of Tibet and southeast Ladakh. The Pangong Chang-pa cultivate sparse crops of barely and peas in summers. During the winters that they pack their Camps (rebo) and take their flocks of sheep and Pashmina goats out to the distant pastures.
