LADAKH
– HIMACHAL TOUR |
|
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.
