If only one could ever do justice to put the right words together and describe the unparalleled beauty of Ladakh, oh, we wonder if that is even possible? The land of high passes, Ladakh is a dream canvas of landscapes with unprecedented beauty. We at Chindi Safar truly believe that everyone should visit Ladakh, at least once in their lifetime. One of a kind, this union territory is a home for 7 rivers steering through diversely composed mountains, each one so uniquely different from the other, beautiful monasteries, distinct villages, larger than life lakes and what not. Make 2023 a year to remember and visit Ladakh and see for yourself, that Ladakh is not a destination, it is a feeling that makes your soul happy!
