Leh- Ladakh
Ladakh lies at altitudes ranging from about 9,000 feet (2750m) at Kargil to 25,170 feet (7,672m) at Saser Kangri in the Karakoram. It is sometimes called "Little Tibet" as it has been strongly influenced by Tibetan culture. Since 1974 the Indian Government has encouraged tourism in Ladakh.
Leh - the Capital of Ladakh is the the largest town. Best time to visit Leh is June To End September.
Nubra Valley
Originally named as Ldumra, meaning ‘The valley of flowers’, Nubra Valley is located 150 km away from Ladakh. Known as the orchard of Ladakh, the valley on the foothills of karakoram ranges is dotted with yellow and pink wild rosed during summers and wild lavender post monsoons.
Pangong:-
Just about 160 km from Leh is a beautiful lake named the Pangong Lake in Ladakh. A drive to this lake will result in one of the most wonderful experiences. The journey begins at Thiksey village, which is famous for its huge monasteries covering an entire mountain range. And beyond this remote village there is nothing but the vast expanse of extreme mountain ranges for company. An interesting observation of the topography throughout this journey is that they throw off all calculations of distance somewhat like a mirage-effect, what looked to be a ten-minute crossing easily requires an hour or more!
Sham Valley Trek
Also known as the Likir-Tingmosgam Trek or the Baby Trek because of the easy and mild trekking conditions, the Sham Valley Trek takes you through some of Ladakh's oldest monasteries and prettiest villages. This trek is one of the best ways to experience the Ladakhi life. Walk through some of the world's most spectacular sceneries - barren mountains, rock formations that stick out like pillars from the earth, crystal streams meandering through fruit-laden orchards and golden fields of barley- and watch breathless as the play of shadow and sun adds yet another hue to the landscape. beauty.
