Ladakh – One of the Heavens on Earth

Jammu and Kashmir has been named as the heaven on earth and is the north

most state of India. Ladakh is amongst the most visited places after

Srinagar. The place shares its borders with natural and beautiful places

like Tibet, Lahaul and Spiti, Valey of Kashmir, Jammu and Baltiyul and

the trans–Kunlun territory of Xinjiang. Culture and beauty of remote

mountains of Ladakh are one of its own kind. The largest town in Ladakh

is Leh which is also known as one of the few remaining abodes of

Budhism. The place is full of Tibetan Budhists and is also populated by a

few Kashmiri Muslims.

Ladakh is full of mountains and is a high altitude desert. The Himalays

deny entry to monsoon clouds to this place. It is the highest plateau of

the state of Kashmir and its height is over 3000 meters. The peaks in

the region range from 4500 meters to 7000 meters.The Suru and the

Zangskar valley is an attraction as they create a trough enclosed by the

himalays and the range of Zangskar. Pensi la, at a height of 4400

meters, is the gateway to Zangskar and the highest inhebited region is

Rangdum. The only town in this valley is world famous Kargil. The region

experiences the most snowfall. Pensi La is only open from June to

October.

Another tremendous place to visit is the Siachen Glacier. The glacier is

located in the eastern Karakoram range of the Himalay mountains which

are very near to the India-Pakistan border. Karakoram range, also known

as the Third Pole, separates China from Indian continent. The glacier is

second-longest in the world's non-polar areas. It falls from an

altitude of 5,753 meters above sea level at its source at Indra Col on

the China border down to 3,620 meters at its snout.

Ladakh has recorded over 200 species of beautiful birds. The main

attractions are the Redstarts, Robins and Finches and can be seen in

summers. Bar-Headed Goose, Black-Necked Crane, Raven, Red-Billed chough,

Tibetan Snowcock, Golden Eagle and lemmergeier are a common sight in

Ladakh. The endangered Black-Necked Crane is the state bird of Jammu and

Kashmir. Yaks are also a center of attraction. Blue sheep, also known

as Bharal, Asiatic Ibex, a very elegant mountain goat, and Ladakhi Urial

are all unique mountain animals. Chiru or Tibetan Antilope is hunted

for its soft, light weighted wool.

Ladakh is also full of beautiful and fascinating flowers like

Seabuckthorn, Wild Roses of pink and yellow shades, Caraway and various

types of grasses. Beautiful tree of Apricot, Apples, Mulberries,

Walnuts, Afghan and Simon Poplar and Oleaster can also be seen all

around.

Tourists take a tour on hired jeeps and Motorcycles. Experts say that

one needs to be perfect in all aspects if he is planning a motorcycle

tour to Ladakh. As many of areas are remote, basic necessities like a

motorbike mechanic or a medicine shop would be rare. However the roads

are full of adventure and are perfect for a motorbike tour. Sonmarg,

Srinagar, Zoji La Pass, Dras, Kargil are quite adventurous places near

Ladakh for the bike lovers. Also, don’t forget to keep valid

Identification proof with you while touring because this area is

considered to be sensitive.
