Tourism is the fastest growing industry in Ladakh and the government too has realized the importance and potentiality of this wonderland. Located at an unbelievable height at world’s highest peak and surrounded by spectacular snow capped mountains and mystic beauty, it attracts thousands of travelers from all parts of the world. Due to the harsh and bitter cold weather condition, it remains aloof from the rest of the world for most part of the year. But with the advent of summer, the entire region becomes full of life, persistent energy and enthusiasm. It wholeheartedly welcomes tourists who prefer to travel to Ladakh particularly during this part of the year to participate in the world famous Ladakh Festival and adventure sports.
Tourism is at its peak during this part of the year and government too is taking some firm steps to enhance the Ladakh tourism by planning to introduce more winter sports to lure tourists even in winter season. Ice skating, skiing, cycling and motorcycle expeditions attract tourists and if these are introduced in large scale, then visitors will no doubt be motivated to take Ladakh travel packages and indulge in various adventure sports.
The residents of the place are well known for their dancing, feasting, singing and folk songs, be it a marriage, harvest, New Year, birth of a child and even flowering because for them it is a part of their living heritage. The birth of the Tantric Buddhism Guru is celebrated with great enthusiasm and is a major attraction for the visitors who travel to Ladakh as it makes them acquainted with the tradition, old culture and heritage of this region. This festival season ends in great style with the Ladakh festival that includes procession of cultural troupes, traditional dances and mask dances by the Monks. It is also followed by archery and polo competition, the two sports vastly popular among the people of Ladakh.
Ladakh tourism is at its peak mostly in summer. So, the government organizes these festivals in elaborate way in collaboration with the local communities to lure hordes and hordes of visitors to book Ladakh travel and take full advantage of these grand festivals. It is surely to the advantage of the country that tourism in Ladakh is flourishing rapidly, but it is for the department to see that the tourists enjoy to the fullest and even plan on returning to the enticing place for their next vacation.
