Bound by the rugged mountains of the Himalayas, Ladakh is a remote wonderland of snow-capped peaks, raging icy rivers, high mountain passes and the still waters of Pangong Lake. A centre of Tibetan Buddhism, the landscape is dotted with spinning prayer wheels, gompas and monasteries. Ladakh is perfect for the adventurous, the culturally curious and those looking to explore a far-flung region.
