Ladakh Bike Trip is a land of High Passes because Ladakh has been described as moon land, magic land, and mysterious land for its unique landscape. It is country’s coldest, highest and the driest zone. Ladakh has a cool and generally dry mountain climate.
Leh was an important stopover on trade routes along the Indus Valley. It is between Tibet to the east, Kashmir to the west and also between India and China for many years . Salt, grain, pashm or cashmere wool, charas. cannabin from the Tarim Basin, indigo, silk yarn and Banaras brocade are the most carried goods.
Although there are a couple of indications that the Chinese knew of a trade route through Ladakh to India. Since as early because the Kushan period and positively by Tang. Therefore little is really known of the history of the region. Then before the formation of the dominion towards the top of the 10th century by the Tibetan prince. Skyid lde nyima gon, a grandson of the anti-Buddhist Tibetan king. His army originally numbered only 300 men but still conquered western Tibetan.
Nyima gone found several towns and castles. He apparently ordered the development of the most sculptures. He says he had them made for the religious advantage of the Tsanpo (the dynastical name of his father and ancestors), and of all the people of Ngaris (Western Tibet) in an inscripton. This shows that already during this generation Langdarma’s opposition to Buddhism had disappeared. Shey, just 15 km east of recent Leh, was the traditional seat of the Ladakhi kings.
