 Some information about Leh-Ladakh :

Surrealistic colors splash off rocks ranging from rust, gold, pink and yellow. Here, one is traversing the roof of the world, where Buddhism is a dominant factor in moulding the lives of the local inhabitants. Once the high Tanglangla pass is crossed, the road winds downward into the Rupshu valley of Ladakh. Tiny villages appear like small oasis in a mountain desert.

On reaching Leh, it seems one has stepped back into time. Here ageless monasteries cling precariously to craggy hillsides which present one, with a strangely beautiful picture. Manali-Leh Safari would be one of the most memorable Safaris, one will experience, in a lifetime.

Exploring Ladakh

Ladakh is a separate province of the State of Jammu and Kashmir and distinct in its culture and topography. It is a region, which was opened to tourists only a few years ago. Since then, foreign tourists, particularly young visitors have thronged to Ladakh to see its unspoiled beauty.

The Ladakh region is part mountain, part flat terrain and is quite arid. It is a high altitude desert and its capital Leh, is located at an altitude of 3,330 meters - 11,500 feet above sea level.

The region is predominantly Buddhist and several important monasteries dominate the region. Some of them are located within visiting distance from Leh. The spectacular Zanskar mountains are where the venturesome go for river-rafting and for exhilarating treks. The clean, dry air, magnificent scenery and the warm hospitality of people makes Ladakh truly memorable.

Despite this forbidding description of the climate, Ladakh has its charm. The blue sky, bright sunshine and green valleys dot the region like oasis and make up for its starkness. The cultural life of the people inhabiting different valleys is very interesting.

Ladakh can be divided into a number of valleys, the principal one among them being the Indus, which runs through the entire region from southeast to northwest.While Leh has come a long way from the time when Polo was played on its main street, it retains its pleasant traditional quality.

On arrival, the visitors are advised to rest for a minimum of 24 hrs. to acclimatize themselves with the peculiar high altitude climate of Leh.

Monasteries : Leh is the town of Buddhist monasteries. A look at the monasteries gives you a peep into the life of the people of Ladakh. The most visited monasteries are Thiksey and Hemis, all spread along the river Indus.

Thiksey is situated on a hill-top in picturesque surroundings. From here, you can enjoy the view of the Sindh Valley below. Hemis Gompa is the biggest and very richly endowed monastery of Ladakh.
