Ladakh is a special world set amidst a high, arid landscape. Jagged peaks, peaceful and picturesque Buddhist monasteries. Prayer flags aflutter, Ladakh, the land of high passes, is unforgettable. It's an experience not to be missed. Drive in, ride a motorcycle, fly into or even pedal your way (part of it, at least) and you'll be yearning for more of Ladakh.

Ladakh

Ladakh has been described as 'The Mysterious Land of the Mystic Lamas', 'The Broken Moonland', even 'The Last Shangri-La' for its unique landscape and culture. Visit the Nubra valley, one of the highest deserts in the world where you can get to ride on the Bactrian camel, the one with two humps. Drop in at Diskit, famous for its 14th century monastery, the largest and oldest monastery in Nubra valley. Check out Yarab Tso lake, one of the holiest and high altitude lakes in the valley. Drive to Zanskar, the most isolated of all the trans-Himalayan valleys, crossing Penzi La pass (4,400 m or 14,436 ft). Zanskar is also the site for the Chadar trek in winter which entails walking over the frozen Zanskar river. See the 1000-year old, 9 m high relief sculpture of Maitreya, the future Buddha at Mulbekh. In fact, there are a host of ancient monasteries, palaces, mountain peaks, breathtaking drives, wildlife safaris, adventure activities and much more waiting for you in Ladakh. And, do remember that you need at least a week in this high-altitude area because your body needs at least a couple of days to acclimatise.

Saboo Resorts

Saboo Resorts

Peppered with fragrant little herb gardens and spectacular 360 degree views, Saboo Resorts nestles in the quaint Saboo village. Located in the lap of Zanskar Range in Ladakh, the resort lies 7 km from Leh, allowing you access to the bustling town and at the same time just a step away from the Ladakh village life. Fifteen cozy cottages blend into local landscape, each with its own living room and exclusive private verandah overlooking the Stok Kangri peak, farm fields and several glacier-melt rivers. Each cottage boasts of two plush, queen sized beds to sink in, unarguably the most favoured amenity. Walk through the village, visit the local monastery and the ruins above. Consult with the oracle, go on small bird-watching trips. Or, hire a mountain bike and take long leisurely rides through the surrounding villages and valleys. Life at Saboo is a series of small joys.

The hat dancers are the symbols of divinities and the patrons of the Geluk-pa (Yellow hat) order. Then the mask dancers perform the Chaam. At the end of the dance, statues of the evil forces are burned to mark the end of the festival.
