Leh, the capital of Ladakh , is accessible by air and road. Flying into Leh is the easiest, and time-saving option, while the road is the time consuming one, but with the added advantage of driving past some of the most beautiful landscapes in our country.

ReplyDeleteHI! VERY NICE PHOTOS.

@The Wild: Absolutely!
@indrani: Thanks.....
