Leh - Ladakh To Jammu - Kashmir Bike Tour

Package Overview

LADAKH: Known as "the moonland ", "Little Tibet" or even more romantically as "the last Shangri La", Ladakh is the most remote region of India, a barren, virtually rainless area. Ladakh beckons for more than one reason. The defiance of its barren landscape, its unique flora and fauna, its culture, its clear blue skies and clean air, the land where snow never melts and only corn ripens, has more to offer a good holiday.Best Time To Travel : June To August.
