Prayer flags flutter on a windswept bridge. A group of bikers halt in the middle of nowhere to soak in the magic of the rugged mountains and the deep blue lakes. Point your lens almost anywhere, and you’ll capture what any photographer would acknowledge as “a gorgeous frame.”
It’s hard to shake off these screensaver like images from your mind. The barrenness of the towering mountains lends a unique contrast to the deeply enchanting azure lakes, and the zephyr of spirituality carried from the monasteries in Ladakh fills you up with calm. But Ladakh is as much about its people and culture as it is about uplifting views.
Drift into the Ladakh of people, culture, and its unique superfoods!
