STUNNING HIMALAYAN
PROVINCE OF LADAKH
G'day folks,
Ladakh is a region, officially designated a Union Territory
of India in 2019, located within the boundaries of the Indian sub-continent. It
borders Tibet, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu, and Kashmir.
This region spans
across a fairly large area, sandwiched between the Karakoram Mountain range in
the North and the
Great Himalayas in the South. Because of this
picturesque positioning, this region was named Ladakh, which translates to
“land of high passes”. There are two major districts in Ladakh: Kargil and Leh,
the latter of which is the second largest district in the entire country.
Ladakh is an extremely popular destination for travelers,
with most roads and passes remaining open throughout the year and an endless
number of valleys, monasteries,
sub-districts, and mountain ranges within it to visit.
Ladakh is also
known for its ecotourism activities which include everything from
awareness workshops to on-road adventures across the territory. These
breathtaking images of the scenery across this mountainous region are just a
glimpse of what Ladakh has to offer.
Clancy's comment: A fairly harsh environment to live, but those mountains are stunning.
