The word Ladakh stands for the land of high passes. Ladakh is surrounded by the Karakoram Range on the north and the Himalayas in the south. It is an important district in the state of Jammu and Kashmir. The average height of Ladakh above sea level is more than 3000 meters. The mystic charm of Ladakh-Leh is one of the pure sites that has still successfully remained untouched by a heavy mass of the crowd.
