9D Leh & the Hemis Festival
Jun 19-27, 2007, Himachal Pradesh & Ladakh
Ladakh may geographically be a part of India, but culturally and physically it is more like the Tibet and Central Asia of old. A remote borderland region in far northern India, Ladakh remains an unspoiled enclave of Tibetan Buddhism. For centuries, Silk Road caravans and faithful pilgrims passed through the mountain crossroads between India, Tibet and Chinese Turkestan, endowing Ladakh with a melting pot of artistic tradition.
