Making up the crown of the huge landmass we call India, Kashmir and Ladakh are a paradise filled with green meadows, blue lakes, lush valleys and snow capped mountains. Engulfed in a feeling of mysticism that enlivens the spirit of the its people, Kashmir is a land caught in time with its wooden mosques, open bakeries and quiet evenings with twinkling stars. The memory of Kashmir goes back to before written word. With the co-existence of diversity vast enough to represent a nation, Kashmir is a land where beauty goes far beyond the grasp of what can be viewed with the eyes. 

To the east of Kashmir valley is the serene land of Ladakh, a true testament to the beauty that exists in the rugged landscape of cold deserts. The gateway to the valleys of Ladakh is from Leh, the erstwhile capital of what was once the kingdom of Ladakh. Buddhism is deeply entrenched in the arid landscape dotted with colorful monasteries that are vibrating with chants and bells throughout the day.
