Ladakh in Jammu & Kashmir, India is one of the most popular travel destinations in the world map. located in the ancient route between china, tibet and kashmir India, situated in trans himalaya,  its a High land with altitude ranging from 9000ft to 25170ft, therefore also called the land of passes.

Article on Leh Disaster, August 2010


A few dozens of trekking routes, for adventurers in all season, but there are only 4-6 roads in entire ladakh. when I went to ladakh in June 2010, I divided my trip in to 4 segments. (No touching Kashmir, and Himachal in this trip though). making Leh my base camp, I travelled in 4 directions.. (road based). I had earlier decided to return via manali route, but I took a flight back home. hence dint cover that route. however I have been to tsomiriri, Changthang which can be reached via roads that go to north-east i.e. pangong tso, or east  i.e. chushul, or south-east i.e. mahe-tsomiriri respectively.

Below the details and links to the places one should visit, based on my experience. I am keeping monasteries, which are very near to leh,  aside for a while. I'll cover Leh in my next section later.
