4. Ladakh - The Forbidden Wilderness

Ladakh means the land of high passes, lies at an altitude from 9000 ft to 25170 feet, a region of India in the state of Jammu and Kashmir that lies between the Kunlun mountain range in the north and the Great Himalayas to the south, inhabited by people of Indo-Aryan and Tibetan ancestry. It is sometimes called "Little Tibet" as it has been strongly influenced by Tibetan culture. Since Ladakh is a part of strategically important Jammu and Kashmir, the Indian military maintains a strong presence in the region.

Part fantasy, part reality... Ladakh, is where, the forces of nature conspired to render a magical unrealistic landscape... a landscape of extremes... desert and blue waters... burning sun and freezing winds... glaciers and sand dunes...as if it is a land of endless discoveries , a forgotten moment in time, an isolated World in our World.

In May, 2012 we, a team of five members went to this lunar land and were simply amazed throughout the trip. In this photo album you can feel the splendid view of majestic Wild Ladakh, land, people and their culture.
