changla pass - Pangong Lake route
Ladakh is known as the βLand of High Passesβ. Sharing its east border with Tibet ( China ), Ladakh has Lahaul and Spiti to its south and the Kashmir valley to the west. Strategically placed on ancient trade (silk ) routes, Ladakh lies between the Kunlun Mountains in the north and the Himalayas in the south.
The region originally comprised the Baltistan valley, the Indus Valley, Zanskar, Lahaul, Spiti, Aksai Chin and Ngari.
While a majority of Ladakhis are Tibetan Buddhists, the main inhabitants of the region are of Indo-Aryan and Tibetan descent. Shia Muslims are the other inhabitants of the area.
Since Ladakh opened its doors to tourists in the 1970s, its snowcapped peaks, the clear blue skies and the vistas of barren mountains broken only by blue meandering rivers has attracted many an intrepid traveler.

Nestled between the serene waters of Tso Moriri and the rugged embrace of the mountains, the Karzok village is a haven where natureβs raw beauty meets the quiet soul of simplicity, untouched by time.
Thiksey Monastery, located about 19 kilometers from Leh, is one of the largest and most architecturally impressive monasteries in Ladakh. It was founded in the mid-15th century by Palden Sherab, a disciple of the renowned Tibetan Buddhist teacher Je Tsongkhapa, who established the Gelugpa (Yellow Hat) school of Tibetan Buddhism. The monastery is modeled after the Potala Palace in Lhasa, Tibet, and is often referred to as a mini Potala due to its striking resemblance. Perched on a hilltop, it offers panoramic views of the Indus Valley and houses a stunning 15-meter statue of Maitreya Buddha, which was built to commemorate the visit of the 14th Dalai Lama in 1970. The monastery also serves as an important cultural and spiritual center, with numerous stupas, wall paintings, and a vast collection of ancient scriptures. Thiksey continues to be a vibrant hub of monastic life, hosting an annual Gustor Festival (held annually, usually in the 9th month of the Tibetan calendar, which typically falls around October or November) that attracts pilgrims and tourists alike.
