Ladakh
is on the western edge of the Tibetan plateau, bordered by the Himalayan
Range to the south and the Karakoram to the north. Razor sharp peaks
criss-cross the sun-baked landscape and glacial melt irrigates precious
crops during the brief growing season. Ladakh has been a repository of
Vajrayana Buddhism for the last 1000 years and its tremendous natural
beauty is complemented by magnificent medieval monasteries, white washed
chortens, and brightly colored prayer flags. Since 1834 when the
Maharajah of Kashmir annexed Ladakh it has been politically a part of
India but it's language, religion, and customs are closely related to
those of central Tibet.
A typical trek starts from the
capital of Leh on to Likhir, Alchi, and Basgo through
remote villages to Tingsmogang. Along the way there is
the opportunity to meditate at historic sites, stay in local
guesthouses, and trek through some of Asia's most breathtaking scenery.
After the first two weeks in central Ladakh, it is best to continue on
to the recently opened areas of Changtang and Nubra in northern Ladakh.
Ladakh located in the rain - shade of the Himalaya, is arctic,
high altitude, mountainous desert. It has beautiful wild flowers, a wide
range of mountain animals, hundered of species of resident and migratory
birds, and hospitable, hardy, cheerful and courteous people. The people
are an amalgam of the Tibetan, Balti, Dard and Aryan ethnic strains.
Isolated regions of Zanskar foster the non-Monogoloid Drogpa tribe in
the Indus valley between Khalsi and Battalik, and the Changpa nomadic
shepherds of the Eastern plains are some of the most attractive and
fruitful subjects of study.
