Visit Leh-Ladakh with Trip to Pick

Where is Leh-Ladakh?

Ladakh is situated in the province of Jammu & Kashmir. It sits in the southeastern side of the territory, between the Karakoram range and the Himalayan range. With sparse rainfall throughout the year, the entire region sports little or no vegetation. It is a collection of barren mountain peaks, valleys, and plateaus that get inherently covered in snow during winters. The mighty Indus flows right through it, adding to the stark beauty of the barren landscape.

What is it famous for?

Ladakh is famous for the Ladakh Festival. Tourists pour in to watch the breathtaking Pangong Tso Lake and interact with the inhabitants of the Baima village native to the early settlers who came to India. The Skara village organizes local archery contests where fresh apricots and dry fruits are served in abundance. Rafting through the currents of Indus is also a popular sport undertaken by many.

How is the ambiance?

Ladakh is on the bucket list of every adventure enthusiast around. Famous for its winter snow laden treks, the stark austerity of Ladakh beckons everyone. Inhabited by the Buddhists, nomads, traders and excellent craftsmen, this destination reminds you of the simpler times that take you closer to nature. Bike rides through its seamless expanse offer you the thrill of a lifetime as you drive past towering mountains.
