Is it worth to visit Ladakh?
Ladakh has centuries old monasteries in a terrain that looks nothing but inhospitable, you might just need to redefine the word ‘ancient’ once you’ve set foot in Ladakh. Time for a dictionary revamp. More than an exotic destination, as tell our movies, Ladakh is an experience for anyone with a flair for diverse culture. A largely Buddhist region, it will woo you with a cultural experience that is out of this world.
Storms chasing snow chasing lightning chasing desert-storms chasing rain chasing the Sun, Ladakh can be this and so much more with its astounding landscape and sudden weather turns. Nature is like that, just nature.
Hailed as one of the most arduous, treacherous, and coolest, road trips in the world, the Manali Leh road is nothing but a challenge. DO NOT underestimate the Srinagar-Leh road as well.You will find different look of natural beauty after you cross Zojila Pass. You will be cherished to see greenery till Sonmarg. Later Zojila will be adventurous and snowy route.
Right from Lamayuru (the Moon Land), salt lakes that freeze, and folk tales to stories about the Patthar Sahib Gurudwara much famous Magnetic Hill, Ladakh has places that are sheer magic. And miracles.
While you are in Ladakh, you do not need much. A land that doesn’t grow much, a region that does not understand internet connections, power supply that can snap (and it does) any time, loo areas that are nothing but a hole in the ground, yet a population that stays happy and satisfied—Ladakh will teach you the art of minimalism, lessons that you’ll never forget.
From Khar dung La to Stok Kanagri, Ladakh is nothing but challenges and conquest, if you really wish to call it that. This Himalayan land will test your limits, just in the right proportion though.
Ladakh has it; mercury plummets fast at night and will make your teeth chatter though you can also die of the harsh Sun in the day; home to (supposedly) the highest motorable road in the world; India’s highest settlement; lakes at an unimaginable altitude of 4000+ metres and more—Ladakh is all kinds of extreme. If life has been dragging you down from all quarters, or you feel like being stuck in some sort of drudgery, Ladakh is the place to bring it all on track. A challenge in itself, it is a place that’ll make you humble and full of gratitude for what all you have in the cities. You’ll come back more patient and peaceful than ever.
It might sound too extreme and harsh, yet spending a winter in Ladakh is all sorts of cool. Go trekking across a frozen river, watching India’s only ice-hockey team at work, or melting snow to get water for a bath—a December or January in Ladakh can be your own Man Vs Wild secret. Himalayan animals such as Tibetan Hare, blue sheep, mountain wolves, wild hares, magpies, golden eagles, and snow leopards can be spotted at higher altitudes during summer. But in winter, these animals come lower to survive from the freezing blizzards. Wild Yak, Tibetan wild ass, Ibex, Brown bear, mountain wolves, and lynxes are also found in these areas. Flora and Fauna of Ladakh have a great diversity.
The climate of this place is ideal for the survival of these rare species making it an exotic destination for wildlife viewing.
