📍 Where Earth Touches the Sky
Situated at an average altitude of over 10,000 ft (3,048 m), Ladakh is one of the highest inhabited regions in the world. It’s a land of rugged mountains, barren valleys, and crystal-clear lakes, surrounded by mighty peaks of the Himalayas and Karakoram ranges. The landscapes shift from golden deserts to green oases and then to snow fields—all within a day’s drive.
🧘 Culture Rooted in Peace
Ladakh is a spiritual sanctuary. Influenced by Tibetan Buddhism, the region is home to some of India’s most majestic monasteries prayer flags fluttering in the wind, spinning prayer wheels, and smiling monks add to the serenity that Ladakh exudes.
