In the far-flung northern reaches of India, Ladakh is one of the most remote and sparsely populated regions on earth. Bordered by Tibet, it is often described as the 'roof of the world' and has almost moon like terrain, girdled by some of the greatest mountain ranges of the world. Arid and barren but interspersed with isolated settlement, green oases of swaying poplars and cultivated farmlands, it is awe inspiring in its starkness and strangely beautiful. Ladakh is the land of medieval Gompas (monasteries) clinging to Cliffside, fluttering prayer flags, gentle people, high altitude deserts, rushing rivers, high peaks and passes but few roads.
