Ladakh, The Land of Passes

Here are a few photos of Ladakh... Though the photographs are not mine, I couldn't resist posting them! All photos were taken by a friend during their family trip to Ladakh.

Ladakh is one of the most beautiful places in North India. It has this raw beauty of unexplored environment, a rich cultural heritage on its own... The snow clad desert is mesmerizing. It is one of the best place for camping, trekking and is a favorite destination for adventure junkies, mountaineers and amateur climbers. You get to see a whole lot of terrains in Ladakh. It is surrounded by mountain ranges namely the Kunlun Mountains, The Himalayas etc. 

Words are not enough to explain the beauty of this place, let the pictures do the talking...
