The Places to Experience Ladakh at its Very Best

The vast region of Ladakh is situated in North India, and it is a popular tourist spot, thanks to its idyllic setting between the mountain ranges of the mighty Himalayas and the Karakoram. The region occupies a huge geographical area, and anyone who wishes to experience Ladakh for what it really is, should spend a long time here.

Unfortunately, most people do not have that sort of time on their hands. So, even if you are heading to Leh Ladakh Tour for a week or two, here are a few places that you simply must visit!

Zanskar

The Zanskar Valley has to be seen to be believed. The valley is among the most isolated places on Earth, and the people here are mostly Buddhists. The towering snow-capped peaks of the Zanskar Range and the gushing waters of the Zanskar River combine to create an other-worldly setting.

While Zanskars main town, Padum, does not boast of too many attractions, it serves as a major gateway to places like Karsha, Phuktal, Sani, and Stongdey, which have some of the oldest Buddhist monasteries in Ladakh. Zanskar is also popular with climbers, trekkers and white water rafting enthusiasts.

Nubra Valley

Nubra Vallies cold, mountain desert landscape would seem very similar to Himachals Spiti Valley if you have been there before. However, if you have not, a Nubra Valley tour package would definitely leave you short of words with its stupendous beauty. Occasional green patches in the form of plantations add colour to the valley, whose sand dunes too, make for a must-visit experience. Diskit, the Valley's most important town, is home to the Diskit Monastery, one of the main tourist attractions of Nubra Valley.

Even though Nubra Valley is in India, its proximity to the Pakistan-controlled Baltistan region makes it home to many people who adhere to the customs of Balti culture. Temperatures in the Nubra Valley experience significant drops during the winter months, and incessant snowfall makes the Valley inaccessible. So visit Nubra Valley in the July-September period.

Pangong Tso

Situated at an altitude of 4,350 m above sea level, Pangong Tso is one of the most prominent high-altitude Himalayan lakes in the Ladakh region. In terms of length, Pangong Tso stretches almost 134 km. As much of the lake lies in neighbouring Tibet (China), it is mandatory for tourists to have their permits arranged before visits to the lake.

The lakes stunning beauty, with snow-capped Himalayan peaks in the background and a total lack of human habitation, make it one of the must-visit destinations in Ladakh. The trip to the lake from Leh, which covers almost 150 km, is a memorable one too.

Some of Ladakhs other iconic attractions include Magnetic Hill, Tso Moriri Lake, Hemis National Park, Hemis Monastery, Thiksey Monastery, Stok Palace, and Lamayuru Monastery.
