Description
A one-time highly flourishing trade center along the historic Silk Route, Leh has forever been romancing with awe and mystery. With enough fantastic elements to conjure up a swashbuckling story by someone like Robert E. Howard, this city spins a web of attractions that you would seldom find anywhere else. With colorful prayer flags fluttering on rooftops, lofty mountains walling the city from foreign winds, sprawling valleys cradling opulent meadows of green, mud brick houses that seem to emerge right off the face of the mountains, a silence broken only occasionally by somber ritualistic chants, Leh is your earthly ground for a cosmic experience. It is here that you will break your shackles from the outside world and become a true wanderlust.
Watching two teams swiftly move on the ice hockey rink is a pulsating affair. Players in heavy protective gear colliding with each other, deftly controlling the puck (equivalent of a ball), and the breakneck speed at which they glide on skates is a spectacle. Leh is one the few places in India where travellers can catch ice hockey matches in snow season (Dec-Jan through March- April), near the main square in town. This is one of the winter highlights of Leh. The trans Himalayan region of Ladakh has many unique charms, and for those yearning for an offbeat holiday, winter in Ladakh is magical. The region is virtually cut off for 8 months by road, and taking a flight to Leh is the only option between October to May. The high mountain passes begin to open for vehicles to move only in May. Coinciding with the opening of roads, Ladakh packages for mainstream tourists starts from May onwards. The region sparkles in brilliant sunshine during this time. The seemingly low hanging clouds form a patch work of light and shadow on the ground, the crisp sun rays bouncing off the sand in the mountain desert, the barren moonscape mountains, snow on the higher reaches, and fresh leaves on trees along the river Indus and other water sources make Ladakh tour packages a very attractive proposition. during the summer months.
Ladakh, without a shadow of doubt, is one of India’s most distinctive regions from geographical and cultural perspectives. A culture deeply embedded in the Tibetan Buddhist ethos alongside the stark landscape makes it a must visit experience for anyone exploring the dazzling diversity that India offers.
