A cycle ride till the Khardung La Pass, the world's highest motorable road, is another adventure that awaits those visiting this region.
Not just the natural beauty of mountains, lakes, streams and rivers, but even the cultural diversity of the region is another promising aspect that enchants visitors.
The confluence of Ladakhi and Tibetan culture can be seen in monasteries like Thiksey and Hemis. Monks performing their daily rituals whose sights, sounds and aromas can be experienced during the early morning prayers attract not only foreigners but Indian tourists alike.
"Early morning prayers are very popular with tourists who want to see and experience the daily rituals and life of monks," says Dorjay.
Then there are the Shanti Stupa, Shey and Leh Palace and other historical buildings which are a major draw for tourists.
And if the search is for some quiet time, away from the stresses of the modern world brought upon by the ever ringing mobile phones or the traffic laden roads of downtown Leh, one can take a stroll in the countryside, which offers unique sights and sounds of birds and local wildlife.
