Ladakh, popularly known as 'the Moon Land', 'Little Tibet', and 'the last Shangri La' is one of the most popular tourist destinations of India, situated in the Jammu and Kashmir. Ladakh is a hill station, a beautiful spectacular region of higher altitude. Ladakh has the privilege of being a unique place on Earth contributed by its snow-covered beauty, landscapes, enchanting silence and what not, and a confabulation of all charms in the physical world. It stands a class apart from other places in India.

Ladakh is home to some of the most spectacular monasteries on the Earth. Buddhism is the way of life for the people in Ladakh, these mountain folk wish any visitor with a welcome smile, nice words and provide you with the best of the things they have, really 'Athithi Devo Bhava', mean behave with the guests as one behaves with GOD. You are assured of enjoying the profound way of living amidst these soft gentle folk. Most of the villages in Ladakh have monasteries that normally stand on the higher mountain around the village, so that the population lives in the valleys and the monasteries are overlooking them and protects them.

The well-known Hemis Festival is a key tourist attraction and is marked by chaams or sacred dances performed by elaborately masked Buddhist monks and colored by exhibitions. Perched on remote high peaks, Ladakh brings into you the feel of belonging to the highlands of the Earth and it is refreshing and rejuvenating. This land will surprise you with its splendor and natural beauty.

One can sink into adventure sports activities like rafting, jeep safari, and water sports and much more in Ladakh. It is an endearing abode of scenic charisma, which takes the traveler's mind to the long cold desert and compels him to spend his holidays in the never ending natural gift.
