Now considered a classic among readers interested in Tibetan Buddhism and pilgrimages of the spirit of all kinds, A Journey in Ladakh is Andrew Harvey's spiritual travelogue of his arduous journey to one of the most remote parts of the world--the highest, least populated region in India, cut off by snow for six months each year. Buddhists have meditated in the mountains of Ladakh since three centuries before Christ, and it is there that the purest form of Tibetan Buddhism is still practiced today.

Seeking respite from a novel that has hit an impasse, Vikramajit Ram accepts an invitation from his friend Manoj Bawa to join him on a drive to Ladakh. It is the start of the Himalayan summer of 2009; the high mountain passes have just opened for the season. As the journey progresses, Vikram finds that the quirky company at the wheel and the otherworldly beauty of this Shangri La are the perfect fix for his jaded senses. On a high - literal and metaphoric - on the Highest Motorable Pass in the World, he abandons his doomed work of fiction to write instead of this journey. The outcome derives its title from the Ladakhi words for 'lake and 'pass . Weaving together elements of art and architecture, natural history and biography, Tso and La is a tribute to this enigmatic and deeply mystical corner of India. Against a backdrop of uncontainable grandeur, Manoj and Vikram find prayer flags and child-monks, magpies and wild asses, vast glacial lakes and surreal sand dunes. Four weeks and 8,200 kilometres later, the friends return home to Bangalore. One throws himself into a new job; the other embarks on a new journey of words.

Renowned for its remote mountain beauty, Ladakh is a region in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir that extends from the Kunlun mountain range to the Great Himalayan ranges in the South. It is one of the most sparsely populated as well as the largest regions in Jammu and Kashmir. Apart from the marvellous misty mountains and the rocky ranges, Ladakh is known for its unique culture and history, closely related to that of Tibet.Having a vast array of Stupas, Monasteries and Buddhist temples; the roadways and towns in Ladakh are also laden with Prayer flags all over. From the high mountain passes to the Hill-top Gompas; from important tourist destinations, to the steel-truss bridges over the rivers; these prayer flags fluttering in the winds of Ladakh, add a bit of colour as well as spiritual good-luck to the entire area. Apart from these, you can also find prayer wheels spread across the town which can be constantly seen given a spun (clockwise) by the local residents and passers-by, for a little bit of extra Tibetan culture and good-luck prayer.On one side are the local residents of Ladakh which are spread roughly halfway between the Shia Muslims and the Tibetan Buddhists. On the other side are the tourists that visit this incredible place, who are an equally important part of Ladakh. Tourists were one of the main reasons for the requirement of roads in Ladakh (the other one being the Indian Army!) The entire roadstretch of Ladakh can be seen laden with predominantly two types of vehicles: one, the army trucks; and two, the bikes and 'Royal Enfields' of countless travellers visiting this enchanted land.This book takes a photographic tour of some of the most picturesque landscapes and structures in Ladakh, and tries to encapture it in limited frames of the camera. It tries to capture a week long journey through different parts of Ladakh, exploring the beauty of the landscape, the weather and the built forms that sparsely cropped up every once and again. This series of 2 books on Ladakh, is amongst the first of many such photographic journeys through the vast beautiful lands of India; and Ladakh definitely forms the best place to start such an incredible journey, being one of the most picturesque places in India.

As The Indus Flows Travel In Ladakh written by Danilo Di Gangi and has been published by il Ciliegio Edizioni this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2014-08-13 with Travel categories.
In 1993, Danilo di Gangi took his first trip to the north of India, crossing the Himachal Pradesh, Ladakh and turbulent Kashmir. Other trips followed in 1995, 1998, 2003 and finally, in a journey both remarkable and tragic, in the summer of 2010. As the Indus Flows is an account of his travels which develops between the stories of the epic, meetings with nomads and local people, through the marvelous architectural testimony of the ancient cultures and the ingrained knowledge of the religious; though the re-emergence of literary characters in the flesh that represent the soul of the land; through the books, precious travel companions and the maps that decipher and interpret; overwhelming emotions and feelings that are absorbed and stories that result in pain and joy, hopes and dreams, between rapid changes that have been imposed by enforced modernization and deep desires to remain connected to tradition. And again, through the memory, that unlocks the past and transforms the journey into a baptism and a rediscovery: all of us connected to the Great Wheel of Life. The text is animated with stylized symbols, crests, photos, mantras and graphics that bring the book to life: visual, imaginative, spiritual. To completely absorb.
