LADAKH:-Ladakh is in North east of India, neighboring Tibet a beautiful part of Jammu Kashmir. Surrounded by the Karakoram and Great Himalayan Ranges, it is a high altitude desert land and therefore sheltered from the rain bringing clouds of the Indian monsoons. Once a lake covered Ladakh and the leftover today are the 3 lakes of Tso Moriri, Tso Kar and Pangkong Tso. The main source of water in Ladakh are the winter snow falls. Ladakh has only two entries by Road, One is via Srinagar Over Zodgela Pass & another is via Manali over five highest  pass, between 3500 mts to 5500 , mts. The people of Ladakh are Buddhists and Muslims.  The first inhabitants of Ladakh were most probably a mixture of nomads, which wandered the Tibetan high plateau, and some early Buddhist refugees from northern India, called the Mons. In the 7th century the Buddhism from India was brought to Ladakh  by the wondering sage Padmasambhava and gradually displaced the shamanic cult of the Bons. With His Holiness the Dalai Lama as its head, Gelukpa or Yellow Hat is now the most popular school of Tibetan Buddhism in Ladakh.
