Ladakh Remote and isolated, forbidding and enchanting, timeless and magical, ethereal and awesome. The Land Of lamas. Land of High Passes. It is a magical land, completely different from the green landscape of many other parts of the Himalayas. It is nature at an extreme. A land of freezing winds and burning hot sunlight, Ladakh is a cold desert lying in the rain shadow of the Great Himalayas and other smaller ranges. Little rain and snow reaches this dry area, where natural forces have created a fantastic landscape.

Best Season: Mid-April to September.
