Ladakh is a land abounding in awesome physical features set in an enormous and spectacular environment. Bounded by two of the world's mightiest mountain ranges the Karakoram in the north and the Great Himalaya in the south it is traversed by two other parallel chains the Ladakh Range and the Zanskar Range. Ladakh lies at altitudes ranging from about 9,000 ft (2,750 m) at Kargil to 25,170 ft (7,672m) at Saser Kangri in the Karakoram Range. Surprisingly though the thin air makes the heat of the sun even more intense than at lower altitudes. It is said that only in Ladakh can a man sitting in the sun with his feet in the shade suffer from sunstroke and frostbite at the same time.

Leh the capital of Ladakh is situated at a height of 3505 meters and is towards the eastern parts of Jammu and Kashmir. The region is watered by the Zanskar River which flows into the Indus River just below. Leh is a beautiful destination with so many attractions and is the center of Tibetan-Buddhist Culture for ages. Its colorful gompas have attracted the Buddhists devotees from all over the globe. Besides it is also a favorite hiking locale and is known for some of the best hikes in the country. Tanglang La Pass regarded as the second highest mountain pass in Ladakh is located in between the snow-clad mountains of the Great Himalayas. Perched at a height of about 5,325 m, it lies in Leh District of Jammu and Kashmir. Tanglang La Pass cuts through the Zanskar Range. Icicles hanging from the cliff face in the shade create a mesmerizing sight while crossing the pass.

  • Reviewer: Amit Mathur located in Haryana
    We had a great time at Camp wild yesterday. The team had fun enjoying the Para sailing and Zorbing and other field
    games like Cricket and Volleyball. Your staff was extremely courteous and welcoming. The food was great as well
    and we left with a great feel.

    I think we will be looking at your organization to plan out some further events in the near future as well.
  • Reviewer: Mukesh Jain located in New Delhi India
    On behalf of NetCarrots Loyalty Services, I would like to thank you for giving us a wonderful time at Camp Wild. It was indeed an invigorating experience and needless to say, our entire staff had a great time. Though the day began fairly late for us due to a longer route, what was important was that we spent quality time together. The activities were very interesting and most importantly, solved the purpose of us being there in the first place - team building.

    The service was great and the activities were very well organized. We would especially like to thank Mohnish for being so patient with us!!
    We had an enjoyable experience at Camp Wild and hope we can make this a regular feature for our staff.
    Regards
