A lesson we plainly learned on our first visit to this area of high passes was that once you go to Ladakh, you know it can't be your last journey there (literally, the translation of La-dakh). With its breathtakingly beautiful barren mountains, clear blue lakes, and the friendliest people we have ever encountered, this remote and high-altitude region of the Himalayas mesmerized us. Those who are considering visiting Ladakh for the first time can use this guide. The book is not your definitive or all-inclusive guide to Ladakh. On the internet, you may locate a tone of them. Instead, this Ladakh travel guide is mostly based on our personal observations there.
