WELCOME TO LEH LADAKH:
The mountain of Ladakh is not spectacular. As even the valleys are at an altitude of 3,500 mt. the summits are only 3,000 mt. higher. Because it is desert there is little snow on them and they look like big brown hills. They are dry and dusty, with clusters of willows and desert roses along the streams, yet Ladakh is a completely magical palace, remote with delightful, gentle, un-grasping people.
Land : 04 mountain ranges cross Ladakh – Gt. Himalaya Zanskar, Ladakh and Karakoram – as do the Indus and its tributaries, Zanskar, Shingo and Shyok. Ladakh also has the world’s largest glaciers outside the Polar Regions, and the large and beautiful lake Pangong Tso, 150 kms long and 4 kms wide at a height of 4,000 mt.
People: There are four main groups: the Mons, nomads of Aryan stock, are usually professional entertainers, often musician; the Dards are found along the Indus valley, many converted to Islam, though some remained Buddhist; Tibetan from the bulk of the population in Central and Eastern Ladakh, though they have assumed the Ladakhi identity over generations; the Baltis with Central Asian Saka origins, mostly live in the Kargil region.
