A Land Between the Earth & The sky

When you look at the map of India Ladakh is visible as the head of India. Infect Ladakh is the biggest district of India area wise. Ladakh at present assessable by road from Manali & Srinagar and by direct flights from Delhi, Srinagar, Chandigarh and Jammu.

Birth of the moon land
Somewhere 40 million years ago when the tectonic plate of the Indian sub-continent collided with the continent of Eurasia, the 1,500 miles long Greater Himalaya was formed with an average height of 4600 M. According to the geologists Ladakh was the point of collision. Ladakh with the area of 95,000 square kilometers has one of the lowest population densities in the world; 2 inhabitation per kilometer.

Where adventurers are moonstruck
Writers, anthropologist and adventure lovers have referred Ladakh as the The Moon Land or the Broken Moon Land. Perhaps reason being; the geographical features of the land with inhospitable mountains, the 95,000 square kilometers of rocky desert and the world of bewitching silence.

Ladakh has some of the most beautiful high altitude land-locked Lakes. The high altitude lakes and marshes provide an ideal breeding ground for hundreds of species of migratory birds. The summer winged visitors migrate from the plains of Indian sub-continent while the winter visitors to Ladakh arrive from Central Asia and northern Tibetan Plateau.

The Karakoram ranges to the North and the Himalayas to the South; Ladakh itself at the altitude from 2,750 to 7,672 M is the ultimate paradise for the daring adventurers.

Journey through the silk route
Leh is the capital of Ladakh and the pivotal of all the tours. The palace on the hilltop dominates Leh. Once it was the trading center for salt, spice, silk, carpets, dyestuffs and narcotics from Yarkand, Kashgar, China and other parts of the Central Asia connecting to the famous silk route. There are still double hump camels (Bacterian) in the Nubra Valley, which were in the past used as the carrier.

Ladakh is also know as the Cold Dessert with almost no rain, and camels were the best suited transportation as they wont require water for weeks and months. Ladakh has no camels in its land but all the camels that we see today in the Valley of Nubra are from their ancestors who traversed the central Asia region during the silk route trade.

The little Tibet
Ladakh is also known as the land of Lamas. People practice the Tibetan Buddhism. The beautiful monasteries on the hilltops are very much like that of Tibet. The Thiksey monastery much resembles to the Potola of Tibet in its posture and grandeur. On the heritage front Ladakh outshines any area as far as ancient monasteries are concerned; Ladakh has 34 ancients monasteries some dates back to more then thousands years. Monasteries of Ladakh are rich with antique statues, Thangka paintings, ancient Buddhist scriptures, wall paintings, coins, armor, weapons, precious jades and porcelain. The resonant chants of Lamas, the mysterious tantric rites and the mask dance of Lamas will take you to the world of spirits and spiritualism.
