Ladakh is renowned for its remote mountain beauty and culture. It is sometimes called "Little Tibet"as it has been strongly influenced by Tibetan culture. In the past, Ladakh gained importance from its strategic location at the crossroads of important trade routes to China, Mongol, Kazakistan, Afganistan, etc. It is perfectly common for travellers to look for Leh Ladakh Tour Packages because there are hardly so many places that are as tourist-friendly and breathtakingly beautiful as this mountainous district. Hemmed in by a spine of dagger-like ridges, Leh, lying on the Silk Route at 11,490 foot, is a town straight out of a picture book with mud-brick houses, narrow meandering lanes and an old bazaar at its heart.
