About Ladakh - Ladakh Tour packages
Ladakh is a land
like no other. Bounded by two of the world's mightiest mountain ranges,
the Great Himalaya and the Karakoram, it lies athwart two other, the Ladakh
range and the Zanskar range.
In geological terms, this is a young land, formed only a few million years
ago by the buckling and folding of the earth's crust as the Indian sub-continent
pushed with irresistible force against the immovable mass of Asia. Its basic
contours, uplifted by these unimaginable tectonic movements, have been modified
over the millennia by the opposite process of erosion, sculpted into the
form we see today by wind and water. |
