Lonely Planet Kashmir Ladakh and Zanskar (Lonely Planet Travel Survival Kit)

The beautiful Vale of Kashmir, the remote 'moonland' of Ladakh, and the isolated valley of Zanskar offer unique travel through lands where the people and cultures are as varied as the spectacular scenery.

In Kashmir you can soak up a touch of the Raj on a houseboat or visit the gardens of the great Moghul emperors; in Ladakh you can wander the high streets of Leh or explore the Buddhist gompas; and in Zanskar you can cross the high passes into Padum and discover the superb trekking areas of the mighty Himalaya.

This guide tells you how to get there and out again, where to stay and eat, and all there is to see and do.
