It’s hard to describe Ladakh’s scenic beauty and peacefulness. It is best experienced with one’s eyes. The picturesque bliss that Ladakh gives cannot be adequately captured in images or videos. The venue is even more unique because it caters to all types of audiences. Ladakh is ideal for everyone, from feeding the desire of motorbike enthusiasts to providing spiritual experience to those seeking tranquilly.
Summertime is the ideal period to visit Leh Ladakh. The best time to visit Ladakh is in the months of April and May when many of the tourist attractions will be open. In order to avoid an overabundance of tourists, some travellers choose the months of June to August. Long winters are a result of Ladakh’s high elevation.
