Where the Mountains Touch the Sky
Ladakh is raw, dramatic, and utterly magnificent — the highest motorable roads on Earth, sapphire-blue high-altitude lakes, ancient Buddhist monasteries, and a vast barren landscape of humbling beauty.
The ethereal high-altitude lake changing hues from blue to green to red — made famous by 3 Idiots.
At 5,359m, one of the highest motorable passes in the world, a milestone for every Ladakh traveller.
A beautiful high-altitude desert with Bactrian camels against a backdrop of snow-capped peaks.
The largest and wealthiest monastery in Ladakh, home to the spectacular Hemis festival.
