Leh & Ladakh
Located in the Ladakh region of Jammu and Kashmir, Leh is known for its Stunning Scenic Locales, Buddhist temples and pristine environment. Due to the strong influence of Tibetan Buddhism, Leh is also known as Little Tibet or the Land of Lamas. Barren mountains with brightly painted Gompas (or Monasteries), Fluttering Prayer Flags, Rocky Ridges, Tiny Settlements And The Indus River Add To The Overall Charm Of The Region. A surreal landscape surrounded by the Sky-Piercing Peaks of the snow-capped Himalayan, Zanskar and Karakoram ranges and adorned with Crystal Waters, one of the coldest deserts in the World. Perched at a height of over 11,000 ft above the sea level, the city of Leh is a haven for adventure sports.
A natural wonder that leaves tourists in awe is the Magnetic Hill on the outskirts of the city. It is said to defy gravity as it tends to pull vehicles upwards.
