Wonders of Leh Ladakh

​​Tso Moriri Lake

Have a hassle-free trip with Leh Ladakh holiday Packages as you visit this high-altitude lake in India scaling an elevation of 4,595 metres. The lake is located between Ladakh and Tibet in the Changtang region and is 28 kilometres in length from north to south and 8 km wide. Tso Moriri is the Ramsar site as no one can construct anything near the lake and cannot set up a tent even. The lake is a twin of the Pangong lake with a scenic view of the mountains making it a place of tranquillity. Tso Moriri can only be visited in the summer months only with an inner line permit starting in April as the lake starts to melt. The months of May, June, July and August see a surge of travellers resulting in the peak of the tourist season as it remains frozen from January to March. Himalayan hares are found in plenty near the lake. The travellers can also spot birds like the bare-headed goose, the Brahmin duck and the brown-headed gull.

​Magnetic Hill

Visit the infamous Magnetic Hill as the next attraction of the Leh Ladakh Packages. What is amazing about this hill is the parked vehicles move upwards on the hill instead of rolling downwards. It is located thirty kilometres from Leh towards Kargil. Get a first-hand experience of the gravity-defying phenomena as you park the vehicle in neutral at the yellow-painted box which is a few metres ahead of Magnetic Hill road. You will be amazed to see the car moving. The area encompassing the magnetic hill makes it an optical illusion where the downhill road seems to be an uphill road. This could be the reason why the vehicles start to gain speed and appear to go uphill against gravity but in reality, it is rolling downhill. There are many theories related to this phenomenon one of them being it oozes strong magnetic force which is the cause of this pull of the vehicles. The Magnetic hill has become a stopover for tourists travelling to Ladakh as they are drawn towards these mysterious magnetic properties.

​Zanskar Valley

Next up on the checklist of Leh Ladakh Packages is the Zanskar Valley. Zanskar valley is a semi-desert region which is surrounded by snow-covered mountains and sparkling clean rivers located in the Kargil district to the east of Ladakh. Enunciated as Zahar or Zangskar locally it is separated from Ladakh by the Zanskar mountain range which is a section of the Tethys Himalayas. The easiest way to reach Zanskar is from Kargil via Suru Valley. Due to heavy snowfall, it remains cut off from the rest of the country for a period of nine months and over. The one and only way to reach Zanskar during the winter is by taking the challenging trek of Chadar Trek. The Chadar Trek or better known as the Frozen River Expedition is a six-day trek across the frozen Zanskar river in Ladakh which takes place in the latter part of January to February depending on the weather. Drang Drung glacier is situated near Pensi La on the Kargil to Zanskar road and is a twenty-three-kilometre-long glacier which is accessible to tourists and is visible from Pensi La and is encompassed by the captivating Himalayan ranges. Phuktal Monastery is built among natural caves and can be accessed by trekking. Zangla is the alluring village in Zanskar and an offbeat destination and hault for Padum and Karsha tours. White water rafting is done on the Zanskar river which is called the Grand Canyon of India with high cliff-like gorges.

​​Kargil

Do not miss your chance to pay homage to the brave soldiers as you visit Kargil with the Leh Ladakh Packages. Kargil is situated near the Line of Control facing Pakistan and Kashmir valley to the south. It is the stopover for many travellers who travel from Srinagar to Leh. This tourist hotspot is small and can be explored on foot and is blessed with natural beauty. Kargil is known for its war memorial which is the main point of interest for travellers. Drass war memorial is a place which makes you feel proud that you are a citizen of this brave land. The memorial is maintained by the Indian Army and features war photos, and stories of soldiers sharing their experiences about the difficulties an Indian soldier faced during the Kargil war. The Sandstone wall has the names of Indian Army soldiers who became martyrs. Suru valley like any other place is a mesmerising beautiful valley that is weaved by the Suru River which is the tributary of the Indus river.
