"Ladakh-Chosen to wear saffron"


8 of 8

A Ladakhi monastery sits dwarfed by the magnificent Ladakhi mountain range near Leh the capital of Ladakh, India June 28, 2004. The isolated area of Ladakh first opened to tourists in 1974, and is the home to one of the last surviving authentic Tibetan Buddhist cultures. Leh is situated at a height of 3505 meters and once was part of the silk route of central Asia. Traders from exotic and far-flung lands have long spoken of the beauties of these lands.
