In the far-flung northern reaches of
India, Ladakh is one of the most remote and sparsely populated regions on
earth. Bordered by Tibet, it is often described as the 'roof of the world'
and has almost moon like terrain, girdled by some of the greatest mountain
ranges of the world. Arid and barren but interspersed with isolated
settlement, green oases of swaying poplars and cultivated farmlands, it is
awe inspiring in its starkness and strangely beautiful. Ladakh is the land
of medieval Gompas (monasteries) clinging to Cliffside, fluttering prayer
flags, gentle people, high altitude deserts, rushing rivers, high peaks and
passes but few roads.
