Ladakh has been given sobriquets by the handful: vivid, beautiful, unbelievable, Moonland, Little Tibet, The land of high passes.
All describe the land but not adequately, and nothing quite prepares the traveler for the completely ethereal yet harsh beauty of ladakh.
High up in the shadow of the world's highest peaks is this land of mythical beauty - a land where vividly coloured mountains rise up dramatically on
all sides, dwarfing the crystal rivers and shimmering glaciers which make their way through the barren land. A land that is arid and harsh, yet one of the most beautiful anywhere on earth; a land of warm, friendly people and
a cultural heritage that is nothing short of amazing.
A region whose cultural horizons are closer to Tibet than
to India... ancient Buddhist heritage is reflected in the numerous gompas and forts atop Sugarloaf Mountains
in this rugged barren land.
