Ladakh & LehLadakh is situated across four of the greatest mountain ranges in the world: The Himalayas, Zanskar, Ladakh and the Karakoram. It is also the highest place in India which is inhabited. Its height ensures that any visit must be taken slowly; to ensure you have time to acclimatize to the thin air and lower oxygen levels. The best way to approach Ladakh is by car from Srinagar; the journey takes two days but will take you through some of the most stunning scenery you will ever be fortunate enough to witness. Srinagar & ShimlaSrinagar is home to the Dal Lake where there are communities of people who have lived there for centuries. The houseboat and the Shikara communities are so well established that it is quite possible to live there and never need to set a foot on land. The area used to be extremely popular with the Mughal emperors and there are an abundance of well planted gardens dating from this period. As for Shimla, the destination is one of the most spectacular of the hill stations built by the British in the 19th century.
