Monasteries in Leh-Ladakh
At a spectacular height of 4,600 meters in the outer Himalayas with peaks ranging from 5,800 to 7,600 meters, Ladakh the mysterious land of passes with unexplored beauty was discovered by the Chinese traveler Fa-hian. Ladakh has a parched landscape with dryness around. Buddhism is the dominant religion in Ladakh. The prayer flags flanked along the mountain pathways are indicators of the Ladakhi's being devotees of Lord Buddha. Buddhist inscriptions and Chortens are found inscribed along the walls bordering Ladakh. Gompas and Monasteries in Leh-Ladakh with thousands of residing monks are found amidst the serenity of mountain ranges.
Known for its snow covered peaks that reach out to the azure skies, Ladakh's cold desert mountains offer a spectacular view of the mindless stretch of acres of treeless meadows with the sound of the wheezing winds rushing past you, the landscape often punctuated with stray mountain goats making their way to the grassy part of the land. Besides the beauty of the undulating landscape, touring in Ladakh includes Monasteries in Leh-Ladakh.
