My first experience of my dreamland

by mamta solanki (India)

I didn't expect to find India

I sometimes dream to visit my dreamland my favorite place and i.e., ladakh (leh). When I went there on one day my eyes wide open to see the paradise beauty of the nature. I must say I had taken in by the breathtaking beauty the moment I land in this incredible mountain town. I traveled by the road so when I was on my way to ladakh I saw many colorful mountains and I really mesmerized by it, its really heaven. I also saw magnetic hill, its something you can't find anywhere. Also I experienced to stayed in camp which I never did before and I really enjoyed it living in between the mountains. Ladakh is all about awe-inspiring landscapes and green oasis. It has great Himalayas and so many desert mountains. Ladakh is known for its Buddhist sites and nearby trekking areas, mountain climbing and rafting on the Indus River. I went The Leh Palace and its very haunted for me because inside there was darkness on some places, lol I just kidding it was too good. I also overlooks the old town’s bazaar or leh market and believe me there's so many varieties to buy. Ladakh has so many valley with villages & so many monasteries. There is a Pan-gong Lake has crystal clear blue water and is very unusual because it's completely landlocked and its rare right!!!!!!, but while going to this lake don't forget to take precaution from altitude sickness. How can i miss to visit the ''Shanti Stupa'' i visited there and i came to know that it has religious significance and also due to its location which provides breathtaking views of the beautiful surrounding landscape. I also went the famous Buddhist monastery called Sankar Monastery and there one-two monastery attached with it. I went a temple where I saw a big very big statue of Buddha (sorry I forgot the name of temple) the statue is shine like a golden I don't know what material they used but it is eye catching, I am sad they didn't allow me to take the pictures of that statue. I went a school also where one of my country film shooted before and that school is amazing because a lake is nearby with that school. There is also Indian army operated museum I went inside and i came to know various things of my country army. If you all have interest in ''langar'' then there is a ''Gurudwara'' which holds ''langar'' everyday and its very good thing because i tried it. Have you even seen any ladakh marriage but i have seen a ladakh marriage which was happening in front of my hotel, it was very different and had very unique style. If you want to just chill out after traveled a whole day then you must visit to ''LADAKH HAAT JUMA BAGH'' I went there and had a lot of fun with my parents. Don't forget to taste local tasty food and Tibetian food there in small restaurant. At last I want to say an interesting thing that when I went to my dreamland, at the same time one of my country actor was there for his shooting, see its quiet good place for film shooting as well.
