Overview

Leh, a high-desert city in the Himalayas, is the capital of the Leh region in northern India’s Jammu and Kashmir state. Originally a stop for trading caravans, Leh is now known for its Buddhist sites and nearby trekking areas. Massive 17th-century Leh Palace, modeled on the Dalai Lama’s former home (Tibet’s Potala Palace), overlooks the old town’s bazaar and mazelike lanes.

Also, known as “Little Tibet” because of its geographical and cultural representation, and also a host to many Tibetian refugees. Buddhist-flavoured, Politically semi-autonomous Ladak is India’s most remote and least Populated. With snoring snow, peaked mountains, and plunging green valley, it’s like a little paradise like nowhere in India. The stark mountains landscape, with its rocky ridges, dry plains, and glassy lakes is peppered with colorful gompas ( Buddhist Monasteries), Palaces, villages, and seasonal Orchards Ladakh is just wonderful.

Leh:-

Women make it a practice to wear flowers in their hats and thus have earned the sobriquet of flowers women of Ladak. Moving forward comes Batalik which has been a focal point in the Kargil War.

Magnetic Hills:-
There is one of the kind hills where you will find a vehicle parked in neutral going up the hill because of its outright defiance of gravity.

Nubra Valley:-
A beautiful valley that is well known for its Orchids, Scenic Vistas, Bactrian Camels, and Monasteries.
