I remember the excitement, when our flight was about to land in Leh. It almost looked like mountains saying hello to the clouds. I had read a lot about Ladakh and its varied names like Little Tibet, Roof top of the world, The Last Shangrila etc … and was looking forward to this trip. Despite the fear of high altitude, I just said “Juley” and entered Leh. Great landscape, unpolluted atmosphere, lovely people …this is what is top of mind for me when I think of Ladakh now. It was summer time and the Buddhist festivals added colour and vibrancy to this calm and serene place. While trekking here is a great achievement in itself, this is also a great option for people who want to experience the majesty of Himalayas, experience the culture and heritage of the mountain people and take a break from the noisy and mundane city life. This place is full of surprises, whether it is the double hump (Bactrian) camels in Nubra Valley or the illusion at magnetic hill, every place has something new in store.

Come Beyonder and get enchanted by this land of “high passes”.
