Overview

Leh is the land of serenity and prosperity. Nestled in the deep Himalayan mountains, Leh will leave you hooked right from the moment you catch the first glimpse from the aeroplane window. Surrounded by tall arid mountains, Leh gives you the idea of nature's prowess. While Leh is known for its scenic landscapes, it's the Monasteries which adds to the charm of Leh. Numerous 5-centuries old monasteries which are nestled in the valley of Leh and Ladakh offer us an insight into the traditions and culture of people inhabiting the land. These monasteries provide the perfect atmosphere for meditating.
