Trips to Ladakh

It is a snow desert, which gives it its unique landscape – bare undulating mountains, lakes erupting out of nowhere, snow clad glaciers, and exotic valleys. With an entrenched Buddhist culture and the fact that it is only open to the rest of the world for 4 months in a year, Ladakh is truly an enigmatic region.
