Leh-Ladakh
Ladakh is a region of India in the state of Jammu and Kashmir that currently extends from the Kuen Lun mountain range [3] to the main Great Himalayas to the south, inhabited by people of Indo-Aryan and Tibetan descent.[4][5] It is one of the most sparsely populated regions in Jammu and Kashmir and its culture and history are closely related to that of Tibet.
Kargil
Kargil is the second largest town in Ladakh. The town is a valley surrounded by mountain on all sides. There is not much to see in Kargil but it has an old world charm. There are many places to explore around Kargil.
Pangong Lake
Pangong Lake seemed to be the favourite destination for many tourists visiting Ladakh. Few years back it was a beautiful brackish lake known to very few people. It was relatively unknown before it got popularised by the blockbuster film 3 Idiots. After that tourists have increased manifold. Pangong Lake may be perhaps one of the most beautiful high altitude lakes in the world. It can be reached after 6 hours drive from Leh.
Lamayuru Village and Monastery
The Lamayuru monastery is the most beautiful monastery I have ever seen. The village is centered around this ancient monastery and is worth a visit. It is the centre of Buddhism and is one of the most revered Buddhist monasteries in Ladakh. The small village is also the host for many annual events and religious festivals. Don’t miss the strange, out of this world ‘moonscape’ just near the village.
Zanskar
Zanskar is a sub-district of Kargil and one of the most remote parts of Ladakh. It is also the least visited place in Ladakh. In winter Zanskar is accessible only by foot through a frozen river. The remoteness has preserved its old traditions and so far kept them authentic and unadulterated. Residents of Zanskar are colourful people, rich in tradition and culture. You wouldn’t see such people in other parts of Ladakh. Padum is the largest town but have a meager population of around 700 inhabitants. The rest are distributed in small villages and on highlands. They keep cattle and sometimes live a semi-nomadic life especially during summer.
Travel and tourism is the largest service industry in India. It provides heritage, cultural, medical, business and sports tourism. The main objective of this sector is to develop and promote tourism, maintain competitiveness of India as tourist destination and improve and expand existing tourism products to ensure employment generation and economic growth.
