Ladakh Monasteries :

To experience the culture and people of Ladakh we have prepared this tour.

Monasteries in Ladakh may be either of the Mahayana or the Hinayana sect of Buddhism. The head lama is called a 'kushak', meaning reincarnation. The monasteries of Ladakh are what give the region its unique flavor and beauty. Typically, most Gompas are built so that they perch precariously on lone rocks or craggy mountain-faces
