Ladakh, the mystical mountain land with rough terrains, peaceful monasteries, and ever-fluttering prayer flags, is the hottest tourist destination in the country right now.
Geographically, Ladakh stretches between the Himalayan and Kunlun ranges and cradles the upper Indus River Valley. Ladakh is surrounded by Lahaul and Spiti to the south, Nubra Valley to the north, the entire upper Indus River Valley, and some parts of China and Pakistan across the mountain ranges. Since the Himalayas act as a blocker for monsoon clouds and winds, Ladakh remains a high-altitude cold desert in most parts, with the winter snowfall being the only source of water. Dras, Zanskar, Nubra, and Suru are fast growing to be important attractions in the Ladakh Region.
Ladakh’s populace has a thing or two to teach the masses when it comes to ecological sustainability. Fuel and dairy products are home-produced, as well as barley, which comes out to be used in a lot of home products. Food and drink at local households have been widely acclaimed by travellers to be very interesting.
