Ladakh- the land of beauty and adventure

Among the innumerable holiday destinations, perhaps the best place to visit is Ladakh that stands in the trans-Himalayan district of Jammu and Kashmir. The lofty ranges of the Himalayas and Karakoram lend it a unique beauty.

If you are planning for a trip to Ladakh, book your tickets in the summer months. It is the best time for travelers as the weather is very pleasant and the roads too are easily accessible. A package tour will help you to explore this wonderful place. The monasteries are the main attractions of Ladakh. The Lamayuru and the Hemis are the most famous monasteries here. Huge pictures of the Lord Buddha can be seen only at an interval of 11 years. Many nuns and monks live in these monasteries practicing penance their entire lives. The people are also very pious and perform the various festivals with great austerity. Adventure sports attract many fun-loving people to Ladakh. Trekking in the Zanskar Valley and Larkha Valley are indeed very exciting. You can also go for mountain biking and skiing. If you wish to experience the chilly winter and the snowfall, you can plan your Ladakh tour in the winter months when the temperature falls below 0 degrees.

In your trip to Ladakh, you will find that the hotels too are luxurious and offer all kinds of facilities to the guests. The rooms are spacious and fitted with modern gadgets. Various kinds of dishes are available here as Ladakh is visited by international tourists as well.
