Description

Ladakh sits at the top of India, a high-altitude cold desert tucked between the Himalayas and the Karakoram Range, at an average elevation that would make most places gasp. Leh, the main town, sits at 3,524 metres. The roads climb from there. The air gets thinner. The landscapes get bigger. And somewhere between the first mountain pass and the first glimpse of Pangong Lake. This is not a weekend trip. It is not a quick getaway. Ladakh demands something from you, it demands your time, patience, a willingness to slow down and in return it gives you something most destinations simply cannot.
