A Ladakh trip will impress every vacationer, because this stretch of land is one of the highest inhabited regions of our world. In every direction one sees on the horizon snow covered Himalayan peaks. The jagged rocks interspersed by lush green valleys, Buddhist prayer flags make cheerful splashes of color. Again and again one comes across old, castle-like monasteries and small villages, clinging to the slopes or nomadic shepherds with their yak herds. Vacationers who want to mainly relax and unwind during their time out and get acquainted with a foreign culture and landscape with an unique flora and fauna, are at the right place in Ladakh: browse our Ladakh private travel programs under https://www.terralaya.com/de/privatreisen.php and seek personal advice.
