Ladakh is a spectacular and little visited land of Buddhism located in the far north of India. Often described as 'Little Tibet', Ladakh is an arid and spectacular high altitude region of monks and monasteries, fluttering prayer flags, bazaars and festivals. Situated between two of the world's highest mountain ranges - the Karakoram and the Himalayas - witness some of the most breathtaking natural scenery, crossing desolate plains, gorges, valleys and mountain passes. The lunar landscapes of Ladakh offer superb trekking opportunities amongst remote villages and snow capped mountains.
