Have you been to Ladakh in Jammu and Kashmir?
Ever heard of the saying, Simple is beautiful? The mountainous region of Ladakh in Himalayas is a perfect example of Simple is Beautiful.

Ladakh is India's most remote and least populated tourist destination. It is an exotic, high-altitude region with lofty snow-capped peaks, rocky ridges, deep valleys, dry plains, mountainous landscapes, crystal clear lakes, unpolluted rivers, Buddhist monastries and palaces, and the highest motorable roads in the world.

It is a calm, silent, pristine, quiet, and peaceful place nestled in the mighty Himalayas. Its mountainous landscape makes it a popular destination for adventure tours and trekking expeditions.

The region is also known as 'Mini Tibet' (Little Tibet) because of its geographical, religious (Buddhism), and cultural closeness to Tibet. It is a must visit destination for travellers interested in exploring Buddhist culture and tradition. Ladakh's high-altitude roads offer breathtaking views of scenic flora and fauna, lovely valleys, seasonal orchards, colourful Buddhist monastries (gompas), and palaces.

The people of Ladakh are courteous, cheerful, religious, hard-working, helpful inspite of the challenges of nature and inclement weather, which makes communication difficult in the months from October to April when the harsh winter covers lakes with ice, freezes rivers, cuts off road travel because of snowfall, and delays and cancels flights. The best time to visit Ladakh is in the months from May to September.

Leh is the capital of Ladakh in Jammu & Kashmir. There are daily flights from Delhi to Leh, which is one of the highest-altitude airports in the world.
