High-Altitude Heritage of Ladakh
About
Leh is the main town of Ladakh and the cultural gateway to one of India’s most dramatic high-altitude regions. Surrounded by barren mountains, Buddhist monasteries and wide valleys, Leh combines Tibetan-influenced heritage with a distinctive Himalayan landscape. The town is an ideal base for acclimatisation and for exploring nearby monasteries, palaces, villages and scenic routes toward Nubra Valley, Pangong Lake and Sham Valley.
