Kashmir 2 Ladakh Panorama

Srinagar is the crowning glory of Kashmir; and Sonmarg, meaning pathways of gold because of rich golden flora that adorn its landscape, are a must-visit in Kashmir.  Kashmir is beauty personified – layers of white snow-capped mountains surround beautiful opalesque lakes and glorious and abundant flowers and fruits  dot the undulating landscapes as far as the eye can see.

Leh, in Ladakh is an enchanting city that is home to many a quaint monastery.  A fun panaromic journey from Srinagar to Leh covers along the way Sonmarg, Kargil, Lamayaru and Alchi. 

This is an off-beat trip that aims to meander on the road from Srinagar to Leh and see the best of both places.
