KASHMIR and LADAKH TOURS
Kashmir Tour Highlights :
Kashmir was romantic, no doubt about it, fertile, with a river down
the middle, encircled by mountains, a holy land with miraculous
fountains At least, that's the way Rennell describes it. “And the
landscape of the deep romantic Vale of Kashmir and the landscape of
the valley of the upper Nile seem to have melted into one another in
the dream, and the enchanted territory of the poem becomes "holy
land."Fruits
spills out of brimming baskets; strawberries and cherries, peaches and
apricots; all the bounty of a fertile land. Pale green paddy fields
rise in tiered steps upon the hills. In the high meadows, trout are
jumping in rushing, snow-fed streams. The encircling snow-capped
mountains provide a perfect setting for a valley that's vibrantly
alive.

After breakfast we drive to Phyang,
located 6 kms away from the Srinagar-Leh highway and 17 km from Leh.
It was built during the reign of King Jamyang Namgyal in late 15th
century by lama Kunga Dragspa. Phiyang belongs to Dri-pung kagyu Order
of Tibetan Buddhism. The man Assembly Hall which is now under
conservation contains as main image Vairocana accompanied by
Shakyamuni and various Kagyu lamas, and the walls are painted
pleasingly with murals of Vajradhara and Five Dhyani Buddhas.
And we drive further to Likir,
Likir gompa situated atop
a windy cliff top overlooking the beautiful village of Likir , This
Monastery is headed by the younger brother of Dalai Lama. According to
tradition the foundation of Likir monastery goes back 11th century
when it was a Bon center. But the real foundation seem to be not
earlier than 15th century. On the top on roof they have newly setup a
museum which contains some very old thankas brought from Tibet and the
armory, coins, seals etc.
Basgo is certainly the
most impressive of Ladakhi citadels despite its ruined state. Amidst
the ruines of the fort there are two large temples and adjoining one
of there is a small shrine. They all contains images of Maitreya in
due proportion to their size. The most beautiful one is the higer one,
which is known as the Chamba Lha-khang ( Maitreya Temple ) and which
was built by Tsewang Namgyal, son of Tashi Namgyal, about the middle
of 16th century.
Then we drive and cross the River Indus
and reach Alchi ,
Ladakh's most loved monastery. Over a century old, its wall paintings
are very similar to those of the Tabo gompa in Spiti, Himachal
Pradesh. Unlike other monasteries, which are usually on a cliff top or
cling to a mountainside, Alchi is at ground level and is nestled in
the shade of a garden.

century. Lamayuru lower ladakh its also called as sham.

Meditation. Guru Padma Sambhava is believed to editated here for
years. One can still find the small caves where Lamas used to meditate
for years cutting themselves from the rest of the world except for a
one feet square outlet window from where they accept the one time meal
of the day.

Gelug-pa foundation in Ladakh. The monastery has been built
