About the tour
Leh, the capital of Ladakh is situated towards the eastern parts of Jammu and Kashmir. It lies on the crossroads of the historic 'Silk Route' from Sinkiang to West Asia and to the plains of India. Wide open spaces; no sound but the hum of your ears and that distant rush of the river flowing nearby; not a human being around for miles in any direction but the wind carrying the sound of a chime .
