A tough land hemmed in by the huge Himalayan and Karakoram ranges, Ladakh has a palpable Buddhist heritage that gives the architecture and the people a distinct profile. While the stunning natural scenery is a good enough reason to visit Ladakh, the Buddhist monasteries and stupas are also an important part of the sightseeing circuit.
Getting to Leh Ladakh
Given the harsh climate and the blocked roads, Leh Ladakh is more or less inaccessible during the winters. In summers, you can either fly in or travel by road. There are two flights a week from Jammu and one from Srinagar. There are also regular Delhi to Leh flights.
You can also reach Ladakh by road via the traditional Manali to Leh route. The Rohtang Pass at Manali is the gateway to Ladakh and the road takes you through Keylong, Bara Lachha, Zanskar and Upshi to Leh. The distance between Manali and Leh is 473 kilometers.
