Kargil is the land where the last war between India and Pakistan took place. However, it is also a place graced by Gautam

Buddha many centuries ago and his teachings of peace are still in the air here. With its glorious history, rich tradition and resplendent beauty, Kargil has an immense potential to become a premium tourist destination of the world. Every crown has a jewel sitting in the centre in all its magnificent glory. The crown of India has a jewel, a diamond so envious, that it could make the ‘Ko-hi-noor’feel modest. That is Kargil Ladakh a lost paradise, a lost valley. A land tainted by war and opinion when mentioned, people usually paint a tragic picture in their heads. A picture of a barbed wire-fenced border, a forlorn looking anonymous guard in uniform standing by it, and a barren land in the background accentuating this unhappy image. What they fail to visualize is the vast expanse of beautiful valleys and meadows a home to. They fail to smell the air with its unusual blend of mountain aromas. They miss to spot the snow-capped peaks lining the skyline. And they ignore the dew drops that settle on the tiny rocks in the gravel paths. A majestic land infused with culture, wildlife, and abundant History. The land where the Snow Leopard and brown beer walks wild and free. The land that was the cornerstone to the start of a new civilization. Have seen wars and have seen conquests. Yet, a land whose beauty now comes after the war It is time to give back to it the divine beauty it deserves recognition for. It is time to gift back pride and hope to the gift nature has given this beautiful land and its people.
