Ladakh – heaven on earth…

“The world is yours for the taking, follow your heart to travel” 

Ladakh (“land of high passes”) is in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir. Extends from Siachen Glacier in the Karakoram range to main Great Himalayas. One of the most sparsely populated regions in India, culture closely related to Tibet.

Ladakh is loved for untouched, innocently wild beauty of nature. A land of alluring jagged peaks and barren landscapes, awe-inspiring, enticing, magical. Distinctive features like raw uplands, craggy, barren cliffs and sweeping plateaus surprise.

At an altitude of 4,500 meters is Pangong Lake, synonymous with abundant natural beauty. This famous blue blackish lake of Pangong is 6 km wide and 144 km long.

Claimed to be highest world’s motorable pass, Khardung La is a gateway to Shyok and Nubra valley. Called ‘Pass of Lower Castle’, an altitude of 18,400 feet. Tanlang La pass is 2nd highest pass in Zanskar range, altitude of 17,600 feet. Chang La is 3rd highest pass, altitude of 5360 metres. Baralacha La Pass, an altitude of 16,000 feet. 

Bike enthusiasts from around the globe enjoy mountain biking, an experience of a lifetime. Barren landscapes, snow-clad peaks, mesmerising views from high-elevated passes are real charmers of Ladakh road trips. Trekking in Ladakh, thrilling experience.

Ladakh is a great challenge but when we decide to go, the hardest part is over!
