If you're looking for a destination that offers breathtaking natural beauty, rich cultural experiences, and adventure activities, Leh Ladakh in India is the perfect place to visit during the summer season.
Leh Ladakh can be best described as India’s Shangri La. A land that looks too distant to be true, it is wedged between the high Himalayas. Dotted by high-altitude lakes and lofty peaks such as Stok Kangri, Leh and Ladakh offer an experience that does not have an equal. Due to its rugged terrain and high altitude, Ladakh is a popular destination for adventure tourism activities like trekking, mountain biking, and river rafting. While stargazing might just be the most fascinating thing to do here, driving through the high mountain passes and wandering in the winding lanes of Leh are once in a lifetime’s experiences.
