Leh and Ladakh are like
no other place in the world. These places are attached by the world’s greatest
mountain ranges, the Himalayas and the Karakoram. The comfort and the natural
beauty of these two places cannot be described in words. It is often said that
a man is often seen sitting under the sun with his feet in the shade suffering
from a heat stroke and frostbite in Ladakh. They are one of the states of Jammu
and Kashmir. The
Buddhist monasteries make these places the perfect holiday in India.
Leh itself offers a number of historical pilgrim
places like the Shanti stupa. The shanty stupa is one of the places where
Buddha changed himself into Maitreyi Buddha. There are a range of important
places people visit like for example Namgyal Tsemo Gompa, Jimi Masjid, Namgyal
Hill, Sankar Gompa and the Leh Palace. Such mountains and valleys are only
found with a holiday in India.
Polo and archery are
the two main sports. Several villages have several archery festivals. These
festivals take place during the summers. They bring in a lot of fun and
fanfare. Various teams from all over the neighboring villages play against each
other. The shooting takes place with precision and with strictness. The people
of Ladakh are tough and are accustomed to the mountain way of life. They are
nevertheless warm at heart. With their round noses, chubby cheeks and chinky
eyes, they come across the Chinese. India
tour packages have offered Leh and Ladakh as one of the most popular
destinations.
