2Ladakh, India
Often referred to as “Little Tibet,” Ladakh in northern India is a remote, high-altitude region with landscapes that look otherworldly. Sandwiched between the Himalayas and the Karakoram Range, Ladakh’s deserts, monasteries, and crystalline lakes are unmatched in their beauty. Highlights include Pangong Lake with its shifting blue hues and the Nubra Valley, known for its white sand dunes and Bactrian camels. With its vibrant Tibetan culture and awe-inspiring landscapes, Ladakh offers a side of India that few tourists see.
