Ladakh: Amazing Coldest Place In Jammu and Kashmir

My Best Friend Jyoti has just visited Ladak and She has sent me few amazing photos of Ladak.

Ladakh or La-Dags, meaning "land of high passes". Ladakh is a place where travelers attracts with its natural scene & senery. From all over the world, who come seeking glimpses of a life ordered by Himalayan Buddhism. It is a region of Jammu and Kashmir, the northernmost state of the Republic of India. A land of ancient monasteries, austere Buddhists, friendly locals, and stunning landscapes, Ladakh remains cut off from the rest of the world during the winter months. The Karakoram and the Great Himalayas - world’s two most powerful mountain ranges make Ladakh a much preferred adventure destination.

Here are the few Ladakh Photos which are really very nice. I think you will surely amaze with these photos. Truly Amazing Place in India.

Changla Pass, at 5,360 meters, is proudly proclaimed the third-highest motorable pass in the world.
