DESTINATIONS OF LEH LADAKH
UNION TERRITORY
Leh Ladakh
Bounded by two of the world’s mightiest mountain ranges, the Great Himalaya and
the Karakoram. It’s also bound side to side by two other ranges i.e. the Ladakh range and
the Zanskar range. Ladakh is mystical in all the spheres it covers, from nature, geography,
sceneries to the modest cultures that it fosters. It is said that Ladakh is the only place
where a person sitting in the sun with his feet in the shade can suffer from both sunstroke
and frostbite at the same time.
A land like no other with a superabundance of attractions to visit and fabulous landscapes,
amazing people and culture. Ladakh is truly a heaven on Earth.
For those of us living in the constant confusion about the difference between these twin
locations i.e. Leh-Ladakh, here is something that might help you. Ladakh is divided into two
districts: district Leh, and district Kargil. The former district has a popular town “Leh”
and is a great tourist attraction because of its beautiful monasteries, picturesque
locations, and interesting markets defining the culture of the place.
Ladakh is an adventure playground for climbing, jeeps tours, rafting and high-altitude
trekking. Note that Leh Ladakh is inaccessible by road outside the summer months. The road
passes close altogether from around October to May, and the only way to reach left is by
air.
