Travel to Leh/Ladakh

Travelling to Ladakh in earlier times would have taken weeks on narrow mountain trails riding on ponies or Yaks. Today however you can travel to this beautiful region conveniently by air, over towering mountains and snow clad peaks. Situated between two steep mountain ranges - the Himalayas and the Karakorams, the starkly beautiful region of Ladakh in the northern Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir, has one of the lowest population densities in the world and a landscape that has been described as a moonscape for its unearthly beauty. Ladakh and its capital Leh are uniquely beautiful destinations to travel to.

Home to Buddhist monasteries or Gompas, rosy cheeked Lakhakis, yaks and perhaps even the abominable snowman or Yeti, Ladakh is truly an incredible travel destination that has to be seen to be believed. The craggy mountains of the Ladakh range and the Zanskar range, change colour as the sun passes through the sky. Believed to be the home of spirits by the Buddhist population of Ladakh, the mountains form the backdrop of this ethereal landscape. With the mighty Indus River thundering through steep ravines, fearsome crags, boulders, glaciers and snow, travelling through Ladakh is no ordinary journey.

With sunny weather for over three hundred days in a year, Ladakh is an exotic destination to travel to in summer. The Gompas or monasteries with their festivals, featuring masked dancers representing dragons and good and evil spirits in Buddhist mythology will add a colourful dimension to your Incredible Ladakh Travel experience.
