Ladakh, a place I would love to visit!

Ladakh, a place I would love to visit!

I have always felt this special fascination with remotes settlements that due to an extreme nature, still remains mostly untouched by the hand of modernity, as if they were trapped in a time capsule, preserving ways of life that go thousands of years back, right to the origins of history and civilization. 

Ladakh is full of  lonely temples that from the top of the montains, overlook the vast plains of the rivers

Ladakh is one of these magical places, located at the northest point of Jammu and Kashmir state in India, where the Himalayas begins and the inclement weather and the rough topography make it hard the advance of big cities. In this place, between gigantic mountains, live their life small groups of tibetan and indians, sustained almost completely from agriculture and cattle raising of a bovid called Yak, a hairy type of Ox that inhabits the hostile plains of Ladhak

  

Matho Monastery, where the museum is built

Some time ago, one of my cousins went to Ladakh as a part of a volunteer program send to help in the construction of a new museum in an old buddhist monastery. The pictures that she showed me of the paintings, buildings and landscapes that he visited, made me really want to know more about this Isolated land and his culture, reason why I'm applying for the next year volunteer season, hoping to see for myself the majesty of the Himalayas and the colorful acient temples that laid on them.

The buddhism is one of the oldest religions that currently remains.
