The mountains of Ladakh may not be as spectacular as some parts of the
high
Himalaya. Ladakh is a
completely magical place, remote, with delightful, gentle, Ungrasping people. Ladakh also
developed a very distinct culture. The temperature of Ladakh ranges from max. 29oC
to min. -10oC. rainfall is only 50 mm annually. Sand Dunes dot the desert like
lanscape in places and there are even occasional dust storms.Zanskar River
originates from the high altitude plateau of Sarchu on the border of Himachal Pradesh and
Jammu and Kashmir.

Ever since trouble broke
out in the Kashmir valley, Ladakh has become a favorite tourist destination for many.
During the 1st two weeks of September, the Ladakh Tourism Department organizes Ladakh
Festival, and it is a not to be missed event. Ladakh offers a range of possibilities to
the tourists and one visit is sure to have you asking for more.
