Ladakh – Land of Dragons

One of the most visually spectacular destinations in India, Ladakh, is a vast highland desert situated between the Karakoram mountains and the Greater Himalayan range. At a height of 3,500 meters, Leh, the main city sits in a stark yet breathtaking location surrounded by snow-capped mountains and brilliant blue skies. Predominantly inhabited by Buddhists, their extraordinary way of life can be witnessed in the many monasteries in and around the region.

This extraordinary landscape and wealth of tradition provides the backdrop to The Hemis Festival, one of the main festivals of Leh which is dedicated to Lord Padmasambhava Guru Rimpoche. This is celebrated with a vibrant display of dancing, sports, ceremonies and cultural displays. The performers wear elaborate and bizarre costumes and brightly painted masks, it is colourful, traditional and vibrant, and definitely a spectacle to remember.
