Low
intensity Kargil war and tension between India and Pakistan has had a negative
impact on tourism in Ladakh over the years, a Leh-based tour operator
said, adding that things are improving now.
Ladakh
also known as Moonland, has always attracted foreigners, who had always
outnumbered the domestic tourists since 1974, when frontier region of J-K was
opened to them. Wrapped in the golden silence of rocky terrain, Ladakh is a
repository of myraid cultures, traditions, heritage spots, scenic sites and
religious influences.
It
has 30 to 40 odd ancient Gompas, two to three high altitude lakes, two dozen
naked peaks for mountaineers, two dozen mountain reeks, and markets. for Ladakh
