Must visit
Ladakh- the name itself is enough to transport one into a land of beauty. A surreal landscape surrounded by the sky-piercing peaks of the snow-capped Himalayan, Zanskar and Karakoram ranges, Ladakh keeps one mesmerized. Adorned with crystal waters of the Shyok, Zanskar and Indus rivers, Leh, in Jammu and Kashmir, is the main city in the Ladakh region, one of the coldest deserts in the world. Perched at a height of over 11,000 ft above sea level. As the winter months approach, the city is enveloped in a blanket of snow, making it a paradisiacal setting for precarious icy formations, caves filled with stalactites and stalagmites and snowy landscapes.
1. Leh is surrounded by three gorgeous high-altitude lakes,
We also visited the Gurdwara Pathar Sahib. Gurudwara Pathar Sahib is a highly revered gem located 25 miles away from Leh town on Kargil Leh Highway. Devoted to Guru Nanak Devi Ji.

Ye mountains, that far off lift up your heads,
Seen dimly through their canopies of blue,
