LOCATION

Sandwiched between the mighty Karakoram and Zanskar range of Mountains, Ladakh is the biggest district of India. Located between 30 degree to 36 degree east latitude and 76 degree to 79 degree north longitude, the region of Ladakh is spread over an area of 96,701 Sq. Kms and has a population of 2 Lac habitants and consists of two districts, Leh and Kargil. The region of Ladakh normally remains land locked between November to June every year as Srinagar-Ladakh and Ladakh- Manali highways, which connect Ladakh with the other parts of the country, remain closed during this period because of snow and rigorous winter.
Due to its similarity in terms of topography and culture it has often been called “Little Tibet”. Ladakh has also been called the “land of Lamas”, “land of many passes” or “the last Shangri-La”. Call it by whatever names, it truly is a paradise to experience.
Situated at 10,000ft above sea level, the capital - Leh is higher than most Alpine mountains. In Ladakh you can travel to the world’s highest motorable road at 18,000 + ft (Khardung-La pass).
