Situated
literally on the roof of the world,
Ladakh is a place with parallel only
to Tibet, but with a difference.
Ladakh is not that regimented as
Tibet and is easier to access and
explore. You have world's highest
moto rable roads in this region and
some of the most exquisite flora & fauna
with breathtaking landscapes & lakes
forming the backdrop. Ladakh is a
land, which is must see, at least
once in a lifetime. Run as a family
managed hotel, the five star accommodation is surrounded
by lush green fields . |

Ladakh is
that sort of place. There are, after
all, only 20,000 people in
Leh, the capital, and not many more
outside it.
Ladakh is a silent, blissful
place of thin air and magical geological
shapes, its landscape marked
by soft, burned colors and purple
shadows. Even the mighty
Indus River, which cuts across
the high valleys and through the
mountain gorges, can look almost
like a stream when viewed from
the hilltop monasteries.
The brochures
call Ladakh "Little Tibet".
The two alpine regions are much
the same, from the monasteries
on the hills to the people's common
features. But Ladakh is preferable
in many ways. Tibet is much larger
and can be so stiff and regimented.
One feels at ease in Ladakh. The
atmosphere is casual and friendly,
and the people set their own pace.
