Discovery Ladakh (India Pvt. Ltd.) is amongst the foremost tour operators in Northern India based at Leh-Ladakh (India).
The capital of Ladakh, Leh is one of the highest inhabited places in India situated at an elevation of 11,000 ft. Leh is the starting point for journeys into other regions of Ladakh.

Leh was a well known trading town and had close relations with the central Asian regions of Yarkand and Kashgar. Leh is about 10 km from the Indus River situated on the fertile side of the valley. The famous silk route used to pass through here. These days Leh has grown into a major town with an airport and over a 100 hotels. The bazaar (market) has been modified to cater to tourist needs and to sell traditional Ladakhi arts and craft.

Leh can be accessed by two roads. One is form Manali via Keylong and the other is from Srinagar via Kargil. Regular flights also operate from Delhi, Jammu & Srinagar. Travelling by road helps acclimatize the tourist to Leh’s rarified air.

The main attraction in Leh is the Leh palace. Though it is in bad shape, the palace is worth a visit. It was the residence of the royal family of Nepal until 1830, when they were exiled to Stok. Just above the palace, on top of the Namgyal Hill, stands a fort called the "VICTORY FORT". This fort commemorates Ladakh’s win over the combined armies of Kashmir and Baltistan in the early 16th century. There are also the ruins of the Leh Gompa built by the royal family. This Gompa houses a large golden Buddha, many painted scrolls, murals and old manuscripts.

North of Leh is the TSEMO GOMPA - a 15th century construction, having a colossal 2 storey high image of MAITREYA flanked by AVALOKITESWARA and MANJUSRI.
The SOMA GOMPA in the old village was constructed in 1957 to celebrate the 2500th anniversary of the birth of Buddha.
Leh provides medium and lower class accommodation, with hundreds of guesthouses and hotels, which can suite every budget. Restaurants offer good multicuisine for a reasonable price. There are number of tour Operator/Travel Agents around the town, which look after traveler’s requirements. Tour of Buddhist monasteries can be organised in one or two days, as all the famous monasteries are within a drive of one or two days from Leh.For information on monasteries please check monastery section of this web site.
