Ladakh has a rich diversity of wildlife. From the Snow Leopards to the Black Neck Cranes, wildlife enthusiasts can capture memories on their cameras while on treks or excursions.

Changing seasons in Ladakh bring about a transformation in the landscape, which is a sight to behold. The clear blue summer skies, green meadows, blooming flowers, and crystal-clear streams make Ladakh a photographer’s paradise.

Ice stupas are a form of glacier grafting technology that creates artificial glaciers in the form of cone-shaped ice mounds that are used to store water during the winter months. In summer, when water is scarce, the ice stupa melts to increase the water supply to the plants.

Festivals in Ladakh are celebrated with great enthusiasm each year and are usually held in the courtyards of Buddhist monasteries. Monks in colorful robes and frightful masks perform the cham (Sacred Mask Dances)

Come winters and the landscape transforms into a surreal, dreamlike scene. The frozen rivers and lakes become a playground for ice skating, ice hockey, and other winter sports. The clear, starry skies at night offer a breathtaking view of the Milky Way.
