Ladakh (Little Tibet)
Nestled in the northern state of Jammu and Kashmir is one of India’s most remote and sparsely populated areas. Ladakh often referred to as Little Tibet, is a land of snowcapped mountains, vast barren plateaus and deep turquoise lakes.
The area is framed by the mighty Himalayas to the south and the Karakoram to the north, the Indus River snaking its way through the arid landscape. Sitting at an altitude of 3,500m this high-altitude desert is cold and dry, the summer months offering startling blue skies, perfect conditions for hiking and cycling.
Ladakh is an incredibly spiritual place and is one of the last enclaves of Mahayana Buddhism, which has been the principal religion for almost 1000 years. Monasteries and whitewashed stupas cling to craggy cliffs, and colourful prayer flags flutter in the breeze.
The capital, Leh, is the main gateway to Ladakh and while the town itself may be a hive of activity, it doesn’t take long to get lost amongst the soaring peaks and sweeping plains.
