Ladakh is one of the most coveted tourist destinations in India. Located in the northern part of the country, Ladakh is famous around the world for its beautiful ancient Buddhist monasteries.

Ladakh is also known as 'Little Tibet' because it shares its international border with Tibet and is heavily influenced by culture. Ladakh is mostly barren land and therefore the atmosphere is lower. Due to its special characteristics and weather conditions, travelers should take some precautions when visiting Leh-Ladakh.

During a visit to Ladakh, the local culture, which is ancient and somewhat conservative, should be respected. Therefore, one should dress appropriately and refrain from activities that are not associated with Ladakhi Buddhist culture.
