Ladakh - The Little Tibet

Set deep in the Indian Himalayas (3500m) on the western edge of the Tibetan plateau, Ladakh, or ’Little Tibet,’ is bounded by two of the world’s mightiest mountain ranges, the Great Himalayas and the Karakoram. The landscape here remains snow-bound year round and the population is sparse, giving you ample opportunity to discover some as yet undiscovered secrets lying hidden in the wilderness. Culturally, Tibetan-Ladakh has remained unchanged over centuries. The fairs and festivals with mask dances, beautiful gompas, art treasures and tankas (painted scrolls) are in abundance here for art and culture lovers, to see and enjoy.
