Trip to Ladakh: 5 things to do in Ladakh

Ladakh is a majestic, strikingly beautiful place whose resplendent charm can be attributed to its strategic location. Located between the Himalayas and the Karakoram Range, Ladakh is, no doubt, a crowd-pulling tourist spot with some of the most coveted features that a holiday-love
can ask for. Here are some of the great things that you can do during your trip to Ladakh:

1. Camping, trekking and cycling: Ladakh serves as a camper’s delight. You can go camping with friends, families and co-tourists on some of the mystifying places of nature. Besides, it is time that you experience the joys of trekking and mountain climbing. While there are base camps for the professionals, even the amateurs and the first-timers can choose from a very wide range of trekking options (from 2-day ones to 15-day ones) under the Ladakh packages. The tracks of the region are ideally carved by nature itself to allow tourists (both amateurs and professionals) to engage in the blissful business of cycling and mountain biking.

2. Exploring Leh: Leh is the centre of commercial, religious and trading affairs of Ladakh. A tour to Leh brings you face to face with some of the most pristine lakes and sedate religious monasteries & monuments. The pleasing sight of the devout Buddhist monks can be really uplifting.

3. River Rafting: Talk of thrill and there can be nothing better than rafting on the wild Zanskar River. The rafting delights offered by the Ladakh packages pour on your palate a delicious slice of exhilaration as you raft through gushing streams at an electric pace and witness nature at its wildest best. River rafting also lets you take a look at the rich wildlife around.

4. Festivals and fairs: Ladakh has its own special culture with the local festivals & fairs very much part of the colorful life. Winter is the best place to take a tour to Leh and revel in the festive delights of Matho, Thikse, Spituk and Chemrey. These festivals are filled with songs, dance, drama and delicious food & drinks. If you go during the summer, then don’t miss out on the traditional archery festival and archery dance.

5. Admiring the Pangong Lake: Pangong Lake is one of the most alluring spots on the planet. Its exquisite beauty is heightened by the presence of quaint villages in the vicinity. Your trip to Ladakh will be incomplete without gazing raptly at the breathtaking reflections of the surrounding mountains cast on the refulgent waters.
