Leh Ladakh Trip is Collection of Activities


Life in the city can often feel like a drag. Doing the same mundane tasks and living a super-fast life on a daily basis is tiring, and often results in people suffering from stress. There comes a time when you need to let that stress go, and what better way to re-ignite your senses than travel? The mountainous terrain of the Ladakh region in Jammu & Kashmir is frequently visited by tourists through Kashmir Tour Packages, and their sole purpose of the trip is to find new meaning in life, and immerse in the beauty of Kashmir. Heres why Kashmir holidays and a trip to Ladakh can put your mind at ease from all its worries.

Simple Living

If you live in a big city and are used to its hustle and bustle and the endless honking of cars, a trip to Ladakh can be just the remedy you need. The Ladakhi locals are very simple at heart, with a warm and friendly attitude towards both life and visitors to the region. Mostly Shia Muslims or Tibetan Buddhists, the locals shy away from the typical pressures of modern urban lifestyles, and have done their best so far to preserve their respective cultures.

Engage in Photography

The list of beautiful places in the Ladakh region is endless, and is ideal to unleash the hidden photographer inside you. Nestled in a picturesque setting between the Himalayan and Karakoram mountains, Ladakh is amazing for both newbies and experienced photographers. The Pangong, Tsokar, and Tsomoriri lakes, along with the Nubra Valley present photographers with beautiful photo opportunities throughout the year.

Adventure Opportunities

Adventure enthusiasts who come for Kashmir tours in India usually include Ladakh in their itineraries, and there are good reasons for doing so as well. Biking and trekking are two of the primary adventure activities in Ladakh, with high-altitude motor-able passes such as Chang La, Khardung La, Namshang La, and Wari La being favourites with bikers from India as well as many foreign countries. Trekking too, is a hot favourite tourist activity in Ladakh. Treks to Kang-Yatse, Nun-Kun, and StokKangri provide stern challenges to even the most experienced trekkers.

Enjoy Scenic Beauty of Leh

The town of Leh is most famous for the Leh Palace, which now lies in ruins. Home to Ladakhs royal family till the mid-19th century, the Leh Palace was modelled on Tibets Potala Palace, which is situated in the Tibetan capital of Lhasa. A visit to Kashmir with Leh Tour is a great way to immerse yourself in the historical town. Even though Leh has some things in common with urban cities, its rugged mountain desert backdrop, along with the culture of its locals make it a one-of-a-kind place in the world.

Let Ladakh leave you with nothing but the best of memories! Happy travelling!

Kashmir The Land of Lakes, Valleys and Many More



Kashmir is one of those places where you want to keep coming back, again and again. This historically rich region functioned as a pivotal part of an ancient trade route, but has now become a haven for backpackers and tourists.

Kashmir has everything you would want from a holiday retreat. In Srinagar, it has a bustling city full of modern amenities. And in its various lakes, parks, and valleys, you would find ample opportunities for unwinding, or to engage in numerous activities such as boating and trekking. Kashmir tours in India would be incomplete without a trip to the following places.

The surrounding greenery and mountains make the Dal Lake one of Kashmirs prime tourist attractions. Situated in the capital Srinagar, the Dal Lake is best experienced in houseboats, which traverse the lake throughout the year.

Gangabal Lake

The Gangabal Lake is a high-altitude lake that is significant from both religious and spiritual perspectives. Often referred to as the Haridwar of Kashmir, Gangabal Lake is a prominent destination for trekkers. The lake is believed to be River Ganges original source.

Nishat Bagh

Along with ChashmaShahi and Shalimar Gardens, NishatBagh is one of the most frequently visited gardens in Kashmir. Established in the 17th Century, NishatBagh is situated quite close to the Dal Lake, and showcases brilliant Mughal architecture along with various flowers and trees. Its twelve terraces are ideal for spending time in the lap of nature.

Pari Mahal

PariMahal is another splendid architectural landmark in Srinagar. Dara Shikoh, Shah Jahans son, established this famous landmark in 1650 and named it after his wife, Pari Begum. Situated atop the Zabarwan mountain range, this six-terraced garden provides spectacular panoramic views of Srinagar.

Betab Valley

Situated at a distance of 15 km. from the picturesque town of Pahalgam, Betab Valley has become a popular destination on Kashmir tour packages. The dense vegetation, lush green meadows, and surrounding snow clad mountain peaks makes this valley popular with backpackers and trekkers. The valley is also the starting point for numerous treks in the region.

Baltal Valley

Trekkers often hike their way to Baltal from Pahalgam due to the mind-blowing views of the surrounding mountains on the way. Reasonable tent accommodation is available for both pilgrims and tourists.

Ladakh

The Ladakh region with its mountain desert landscape, is totally different from the lush green valleys found elsewhere in Kashmir. Many tourists choose Kashmir with Leh tour to experience Ladakh at its finest, including a trip to the regions capital city, Leh.
