Ladakh is part of the northwestern Indian province of Jammu and Kashmir, situated on the Tibetan Plateau at average altitudes of 3,500m above sea level.  It is beautiful in its starkness – oases of green form villages where glacial rivers and streams flow, set amidst the arid, barren landscape… yet Ladakh is anything but drab.  The myriad rock formations captivate you, a geologists’ dream is to be found here; colours seem more vivid in the thin, high altitude air and the sky is the deepest, most saturated blue you are likely to see. 

This section contains comprehensive information about everything you would need to make your stay in Ladakh comfortable and rewarding.
