Amazing Honeymoon Destination - Leh Ladakh!
Looking for a honeymoon destination but not the one which is on everyone’s list? How about a combination of adventure and romance? If yes, Leh Ladakh is your answer!
The adventure of this pristine place starts right from the moment you enter its skies. The first view that you’ll see from your aircraft is indescribable. If there’s a heaven on earth, it’s HERE! The snow-capped mountains, long smooth curvy roads, clear blue sky and turquoise waters will sweep the floor off your feet. Every mountain looks different, with unique shapes (a human face, some animal – whatever your wild imagination can make of them), color and texture.
The long road trips will take you through the essence of this Cold Desert – the tranquility, barren hills, high mountain passes, frozen waterfalls, wildlife (Ibex and Marmot being the star attractions), Gompas, the locals and their strange mud houses. You would wish the drive never ends.
Oh so thrilling, yet so romantic! <3
