In Ladakh, incredibly varied landscapes follow one another: blinding white deserts next to cobalt blue lakes, passes located at over 5000 meters above sea level surrounded by snow-capped peaks, valleys and verdant oases dotted with apricot trees and tall poplars.
You will be struck by the beauty of the landscapes of this remote country. Leh, the capital, rises at 3,500 metres, but the peaks exceed 7000 meters and are covered in snow; Bactrian camels roam the sand dunes of the valley bottoms; shiny glaciers stand out on the horizon and high-altitude lakes dot the landscape. You cross the Khardung-la pass, at 5603 meters above sea level, the highest pass suitable for vehicles in the world. Wonderful monasteries, clinging to the steep sides of the mountains, host communities of hundreds of monks.

Ladakh means "land of the high passes", it is the mountainous region of northern India, nestled in the great chains of the Himalayas and the Karakoram, for centuries a crossroads of caravans coming from China and India which crossed passes and passes with yaks and horses. Known due to the remote beauty of the mountains, dotted with monasteries and stupas, it is often called "little Tibet" due to the high presence of Tibetan refugees and the strong ties with their culture; Although it is a Himalayan district of India, Ladakh belongs to the Tibetan Buddhist cultural world.

Ladakh is divided into 2 districts: Leh district and Kargil district, which includes Zanskar.

Ladakh, the northernmost part of India, is a high-altitude desert, where a courageous population of monks and shepherds pass down ancient spiritual and cultural traditions. Ladakh preserves intact Tibetan Buddhism (Sakyapa or Red Hat sect) which the Chinese are trying to dismantle in Tibet.

Ladakh, when to go?
Ladakh is not always accessible. The month of August is a good time to travel to the Himalayas and Ladakh as the Indian monsoon stops at the foot of the Himalayas and generally does not rise in the Himalayan valleys above 3000 metres.
In the Indus Valley the average temperatures are around 20/24 °C (with sun and clear skies); during the night around 10/12 °C.
When crossing the passes (above 4000 metres) temperatures can drop significantly. However, we recommend "onion" clothing with mountain equipment (fleece, Goretex wind jacket, sunglasses, lip balm).
