In the heart of the himalayas
A rugged land, known for being home to some of the world’s highest roads, Ladakh is the dream destination for an adventure off the beaten track.
This Indian region, nestled in the Himalayas, offers a variety of landscapes and wide-open spaces simply waiting to be explored. Interspersed with dizzyingly high summits, reaching up to 8,000m, Ladakh is spread out across magnificent lunar landscapes
and deep valleys, carved out by erosion
From Tibetan monasteries perched in the mountains to small remote villages set in the valleys, visiting Ladakh is a journey back in time which we invite you to experience in an original way.

Magnifique guide un must pour les bikers qui vont au Ladakh. Très complet et pratique pour préparer le voyage mais aussi à emporter avec soi. Guide reçu dans les délais annoncés.
Deuxième achat de ce même livre! Précieux, à mon avis, pour prévoir un voyage dans ce pays. Toutes les informations nécessaires sont évoquées. Peut-être un volet « coup de cœur » aurait pu compléter cette ouvrage.
