Once a hectic centre visited by numerous traders
travelling on the trade routes leading to the teeming
bazaars of central Asia, Leh, today the district capital
of Ladakh plays host instead to visitors from all
over the world. Located in the western end of the
Great Himalaya, Ladakh displays an astounding variety
of mountain ranges with river basins and numerous
rivers. Composed of bald granite hills and mountains,
Ladakh also sustains a sizeable amount of wild life.
Today it offers the traveller and the adventurer numerous
trails to explore and trek. While Leh itself offers
the visitor almost all the amenities he could ask
for, the rest of the region remains remote and uninhabited
save for the occasional village with its own Monastery
and green fields of barely, wheat and peas the only
crops that manage to grow in this barren land. Trekking
enthusiasts have a choice of a number of options.
Ladakh offers treks ranging from 3 days to 24 days
some of them going through the stark landscape of
Zanskar while others lead into the neighbouring state
of Himachal Pradesh. Mountaineering is another outdoor
activity that one can indulge in with numerous peaks
towering in the Ladakh and Zanskar ranges. Himalaya
Kingdom offers the very best of services to all its
clients and promises a great time in this enchanting
land.
