Things to do in Ladakh – India’s Hidden Gem
Have you ever heard of Ladakh?
Based in the Trans-Himalaya region, this is India’s Land of High Passes, also known as “Little Tibet.”
If you’re a beach lover, chances are that Ladakh won’t exactly thrill you. But if you are a nature enthusiast and a fan of the mountains, a trip here definitely won’t disappoint.
What makes Ladakh unique is the landscape. You might be surprised to know that the local population lives at an elevation between 2,700m and 4,500m. Even the capital of Ladakh, the city of Leh, is at an altitude of 3,500, (which can cause travelers some high-altitude symptoms).
And within that spectacular landscape? There are a huge range of tourist places in Ladakh and exciting things to do.
