Ladakh is a remote place belonging to a northern Indian state, which for some reason doesn\u2019t receive as many tourists as the rest of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was wondering: Why is that i wonder? This region is a bit remote and of difficult access. Normally, people don\u2019t know about it or haven\u2019t even heard of it. Why? Maybe it\u2019s because Hindu culture can\u2019t be enjoyed here, which is one of the mains reasons for going to India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So what can you do and find in there? Ladakh is basically a Himalayan region where authentic Tibetan people live in. It\u2019s often called the little Tibet, and for the Indians themselves, this is the best spot where to spend their vacations in India. Why? In India chaos rules, it\u2019s overpopulated and there\u2019s traffic everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ladakh is a different place which differs from all these stereotypes. Here you find peace and silence, which combined with the stunning Himalayan landscape and the Tibetan culture visible in every corner, sometimes you may even forget that you are actually in India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That being said, the following Travel guide to Ladakh aims to provide you with detailed travel tips such as prices, accommodation, and transportation, as well as an overview of the main things to do and see, so you know what to expect upon your arrival in Ladakh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you arrive by plane, the capital is going to be your first destination. Leh is a fantastic place to explore. Leh palace, the most iconic building of the city, is definitely worth a visit. You can also watch the sunset from Shanti stupa, visit Tibetan refugee markets or simply wander around its narrow alleys and streets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Leh, you will get a\u00a0first glimpse of what Tibetan culture\u00a0<\/strong>is like. A vast sea of sand dunes in the Himalaya itself. Can you believe it? Nubra Valley is a desert similar to those of Arabia but located at 4,000 meters above sea level and surrounded by the Himalayan range. Here you also find two-humped hairy camels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tibetans claim that the origin of this desert comes from Tethys<\/strong>, a sea from the depths from which the Himalayas are supposed to have risen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ladakh is a remote place belonging to a northern Indian state, which for some reason doesn\u2019t receive as many tourists as the rest of the country.
