  There are few places left in the world like Ladakh. It lies in the Great Himalayan rain shadow, so receives no monsoon during the summer, but hefty snowfall throughout its long (November - Late May) winter. In summer it is a high, arid fortress surrounded by vast peaks and trisected by the swift, snow - laden Indus and Zanskar rivers.
  
  The landscape resembles that of neighbouring Tibet (This area is sometimes called " Little Libet") , as does the appearance of the people, their religion - devoutly Buddhist - and the magnificent monasteries perched imperiously on granite crags and steep hillsides.
