Ladakh

Ladakh, often called 'Little Tibet', is a high-altitude desert region in the northernmost part of India.

The region is home to some of the world's highest motorable roads and passes. Visit the Hemis Monastery, one of the largest and richest monasteries in Ladakh, and the Thiksey Monastery, which resembles the Potala Palace in Lhasa. The Pangong Lake, a high-altitude lake that changes colors, is a breathtaking sight.

Ladakh's Buddhist culture is evident in its monasteries, prayer flags, and festivals. The region's cuisine, featuring momos and thukpa, reflects its Tibetan influence. Adventure enthusiasts can enjoy trekking, mountain biking, and river rafting. Ladakh's stark beauty, spiritual atmosphere, and adventure opportunities make it a destination like no other.
