THE SPIRIT OF LADAKH
Known as the 'Land of High Passes', this region is located in the heart of the majestic Himalayas in the Indian Union Territory of Ladakh and is known for its remote mountain beauty and rich cultural heritage. With strong historical ties to Buddhism, Ladakh has earned the nickname "Little Tibet" due to the significant influence of Tibetan culture. Evidence suggests that the area has been inhabited since ancient times, dating back to the Neolithic. Recognizing its exceptional natural landscape, Buddhist monasteries, exciting adventure sports and unique cultural experiences, the Government of India has been actively promoting tourism in Ladakh since 1974.
