Ladakh is a rich cultural state so, we have made this custom in-house Leh Ladakh cultural tour itinerary for those who want to experience a subtle touch to its Culture And Heritage. As you will soon realise after reaching Leh, one of the most popular activities for visitors to Ladakh is touring some of the amazing Buddhist monasteries that Ladakh is blessed with. Even for those less interested in the interiors of monasteries with all their religious icons and shrines, many of the gompas are simply beautiful structures, worth admiring in themselves. Usually, Monasteries are built-in dramatic locations on the top of hills or ridges with some even constructed in or around caves, situated high up on a cliff-face. Being usually surrounded by lots of prayer-wheels, even just a walk around the boundaries of village gompa can be a very rewarding experience, allowing time for a moment’s reflection, as well as soaking up the Cultural Atmosphere of life in the villages, that just goes to say that no Leh Ladakh cultural tour is complete without these beautiful gompas (monastery). In summer, villages are alive with activity. Everyone is busy working on the fields and the animals. Splashing streams boosted by summer snow-melt and lined with shady willow trees, glitter amongst the fields green with swaying barley. Beautiful houses with gardens of extravagant flowers nestle amongst the trees and fields, full of birdsong and the cries of the villagers as they work their fields.
