LEH EXPEDITIONS

Home to his Holiness Dalai Lama

Leh is the joint capital and the largest of ladakh, situated on the bank of river Indus. Leh is at an altitude of 3,500m. LEH is well connected from Srinagar and Manali by road.

Buddhism is the predominant religion in the valley practiced among Ladakhi people and several Tibetan people.

Ladakh gets its name from the Tibetan word ‘la – dwags’ which translates to the land of high passes.

Exploring this land of monasteries with magnificent views of snow clad mountain, the light brown landscape and the bright blue sky serving a magnificent backdrop in all direction is an experience in itself. The tranquil carpet of water the Pangong-Tso and tsomori is a treat to your eyes.

The high mountain desert Nubra region is divided into "Diskit Nubra" in the north and the "Darbuk region" in the south, both of which are regarded as tehsils and subdivisions of the Leh district.

Between Hunder and Diskit lie 7km of sand dunes, and Bactrian camel gazing in the neighbouring forest of seabuckthom. The 32 meter Maitre statue is the landmark of nubra and is maintained by the Diskit Monastery.
