Road Trip To Ladakh

It has been called ' the moonland ' , ' little Tibet ' or ' the last Shangri La '. Those romantic definitions all hold more than a slight degree of truth.

Nestled between the vast ranges of the Karakoram in the month and the north and the mighty Himalayas in the south. Ladakh is one of the world`s highest plateaus and sparsely populated regions. Ladakh with its breathtaking landscapes and extremely hospitable inhabitants have always been attracting travelers, adventures and traders for centuries.
