Oct 19, 2008 Ladakh, a rugged Buddhist region known as Little Tibet, is found in the far North of India squeezed between the Himalayas and the Karakoram ranges. Isolated from the world by sheer force of geography, it has retained its medieval traditions and escaped outside influences, although modernity is recently creeping in, threatening this beautiful undisturbed land. Ladakh literally means Land of High Passes, making perfect sense as it is here that you will find the world's highest mountain passes, as well as magnificent snowcapped peaks, glaciers, roaring rivers, charming traditional villages, happy and friendly locals, many beautifully kept and preserved monasteries of Tibetan Buddhism in sublime locations, endless totally breathtaking views and if you are very lucky snow leopards! Yes this sounds idyllic and it truly is, Ladakh is unique in every sense, the magical rugged beauty of the place will leave you totally content and at peace. Related Links
