Introduction
 
  • Printer-friendly version

The stark beauty of Ladakh lures visitors across the world to experience the serenity, tranquility and spirituality in its absolute form.

Ladakh literary means ‘the land of passes” and is geographically located in the western most extension of the Tibet plateau.

Historically, the region falls in the famous Silk Route, which acted as the base for the trade relation between Central and the South Asian countries. It is the only place on earth, which can boast of having the purest Aryan race - the Brogpas (also known as the Drogpas) who inhabit in the narrow valleys of the Indus.

This “Little Tibet” is known for its colorful culture, which has its own unique charm. Rich traditions of Mahayana Buddhism still flourish in the purest form in this region.

Attractions such as monasteries, stupas, people, culture, local food and scenic beauty enhance the unique experience of Ladakh.
