Overview
Ladakh also famously called as the ‘Land of High Passes’ is an ideal travel destination combine with adventure, culture and natural beauty. A Ladakh package tour helps you get to the most popular sights in the region, while not having to worry about the often difficult terrain and high altitude of the region.
A Ladakh package tour is incomplete if one has not visited Khardung La, the highest motorable road in the world. It is found at 18,380 feet above the sea level and tourists are able to view wonderful valleys and snow covered mountains. This is not the end because you will move to Nubra Valley where the camels with two humps of Bactrian species are found. The camel safari that I took on the sand dunes of Hunder is something which I still remember.
Other place which one cannot afford to miss in Ladakh and on the tour package is the Pangong Tso Lake. Famous for its stunning image, the lake with the blue water is situated between India and China and is always popular among tourists. One has to see it to believe the colour of the lake especially in the early morning.
Ladakh also has a good spiritual background and the Thiksey Monastery is a perfect example of this background. This is a monastery situated on a hill and is noted for its fine architecture and the huge statue of Maitreya Buddha.
At Ladakh package tour, you will get to see all these while the arrangements of your accommodation, transport and other needs are well arranged for you so that you can just focus on enjoying the unearthly beauty of this part of the Himalayas.
