What to do and see in Ladakh, Jammu and Kashmir: The Best Shopping
Bounded by the Karakoram and Himalayan mountains, Ladhak is the largest province in the state of Jammu and Kashmir. The landscape of Ladhak, a high altitude desert, is defined by craggy, barren cliffs and plateaus. Ladhak is a favorite among adventure sports enthusiasts, offering unique adventures in trekking, mountaineering and white water rafting. While rafting options are available on both Indus and Zanskar rivers, the Zanskar course is more difficult and exciting. The trekking options range from short, day-long walks to visit monuments or monastic settlements to long, trans-mountain treks involving weeks of walking and camping in the wilderness. Ladhak celebrates a numbers of monastic festivals - annual events of the major monasteries primarily in winters. The month of September, hosts the Ladhak Festival, that gives a peek into the richness, depth and pageantry of Ladakh's centuries-old culture, traditions and folk heritage. One can witness the best samples of the region's performing arts, Archery contests and the Ladhak Polo Cup.

I have just bought another silk carpet from Omar via the internet and am delighted with it. I only saw photos of it beforehand and a good written description. It was relatively easy to pay for and it arrived within a week to Scotland so a great service all together. Would definitely recommend. High quality beautiful carpets.

Leh Market is an ancient market dated back to the 15th century, the era of King Singe Namgyal,. The Market today is one of the main attraction of Leh City
Reviewed By LetsGoSightseeing - Noida, India
The Leh Market is pretty. I wandered here with my tour organizer as he told me tales of Tibetan settlements in India. You can find almost anything in this market. A lot of Tibetan shops exist selling woolens, junk jewelry etc. The market is a burst of color. In between, you'll find Ladakhi Muslim bakeries selling the softest of breads. Don't forget to enjoy one! The entire market is quite unlike Indian markets in the sense that it's not noisy.
