I hope everyone is having a great time with their friends and family this holiday season. 2017 was a beautiful year and I wish 2018 to be even more rocking.
A big thank you for the amazing response on the FIRST PART. I am so glad and i promise to keep writing on the mesmerising places that I discover. Your constant encouragement is always needed. :) let's continue then-
Attractions:
Diksit Monastery: Located on the periphery of a desert in the Shok Valley, Diksit Village is an administrative center of the Nubra Valley, comprising of various government offices in it. The Diskit monastery is around 350 years old and houses a Maitreya Buddha statue, drums, paintings and Tibetan colored-patterned silk.
Hall of Fame: The Hall of Fame, located near the Leh Airfiled, is a museum constructed as well as maintained by the Indian Army in the memory of the soldiers who had lost their lives during the Indo-Pak wars. It is also termed as a memorial for the war heroes. This building consists of two floors. While on the ground floor, there is information about the brave soldiers as and a souvenir shop but on the first floor, there are artifacts of various wars (mainly Kargil war) such as the weapons used during the war and some important documents, related to the same. There is another section dedicated to the Siachen glacier.
Leh Palace: The roof of this palace offers an excellent view of the valley. The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) is restoring some of the ruined portions of this nine-storey palace.
Sangam: Sangam means Confluence (where two rivers meet each other). Zanskar is the river formed from the junction of two streams; At Nimo Zanskar joins Indus River which the much beautiful view.
Magnetic Hill: Located on the Leh-Kargil-Batalik national highway, and bordered by the sindhu river, the magnetic hill is a gravity hill.
Camel Safari in Ladakh: Bactrian camel: The most distinctive feature of the Bactrian camel is its two humps. These humps, contrary to popular belief, are designed to store fat and not water. Bactrian camels are classified as herbivores.
Camel Traveling is predominantly evident in Nubra Area from Hundar up to the Diskit. Bactrian camels, along with dual humps, are basically also recognized as the ‘Real Camel’.
My Ladakh Moments:
Tibetan Prayer
Dine-out the Ladakhi way: Experienced the amazing hospitality of the people
Some creativity with the amazing artists:
Sea buckthorn: Considered to be the healthiest drink, Ladakh is the highest producer of sea buckthorn in the country. This product has become an export item for the state as it is valued for beverage and jam, herbal tea, cosmetic products, nutrient composition and anti-oxidant potential for pharmaceutical companies.
Prayer Flags: Prayer Flags are inscribed with auspicious symbols, invocations, prayers, and mantras. Tibetan Buddhists for centuries have planted these flags outside their homes and places of spiritual practice for the wind to carry the beneficent vibrations across the countryside. Prayer flags are said to bring happiness, long life and prosperity to the flag planter and those in the vicinity.
And here I conclude on Ladakh. So, if you wanna feel how it is to be left without a gadget, drive continuously for Kilometers and experience simplicity with serenity, pack your bags and get ready to explore Ladakh!!
