One of the most sought-after tourist destinations in India, Leh is an adventure haven for travel junkies from around the world. Surrounded by the snow-capped Himalayan, Karakoram and Zanskar ranges, Leh is the main city in the Ladakh region. Just outside the city, the rugged terrain with off-road canvases are ideal for activities like trekking, camping, biking and mountain climbing. The Chadar Trek, which starts from Chilling, around 60 km from Leh, is well-known.
