Kargil – Much Beyond the War Memorial

February 2, 2020 by The Iffy Explorer 5 Comments

Best trips are those which are unplanned and unforeseen. I never thought of exploring Kargil, not even once. Until someone made me aware of the Kargil Festival which was to happen on 21-22nd July 2019. I read a bit about the region and got to know how underrated the destination was. Even Google couldn’t justify the beauty of the Kargil. Now that I have explored it, I understand the level of underestimation.

Ladakh comprises of two districts, Kargil and Leh. Out of these two, Kargil is an upcoming tourism destination with untouched valleys like Suru, Wakha, Zanskar, Drass, Shakar Chiktan and Lower Indus. These valleys are the home to various ethnic and tribal groups like Indo-Aryans, Dards, Mons of Northern India and Tibetans.
