Ladakh is a beautiful landscaped region, untamed by humans, nestled between the cold confines of the mountains and adorned by the shimmering horizons of sand draws tourists from across the world. A place where the predominant influences are the dictates of nature and traditions of Buddhism. A place where life is dictated by nature rather than the clock.
The name 'Ladakh' is derived from the Ladakhi word Ladags, with 'La' meaning 'pass' or 'passes' and 'dags' meaning 'land of'; hence this translates into 'The Land of Passes'. While touring Ladakh, the visitor has a chance not only to experience a unique way of life but also to see some truly amazing scenery such as the snowcapped mountain peaks of the Himalayan Mountains, or beautiful high altitude lakes of the region. One can also spot some interesting and rare wildlife whilst touring the region.
