Tourism, that too of adventurous, cultural and religious nature , besides enjoying unique scenic beauties , lakes and valleys , can in an increasing way, work as a major economic contributor to the UT which is aimed at being transformed into a high value low impact tourism destination via the Vision Document.

The change in the Vision Document is supposed to be from the current and conventional sites and places to those with improved possibility which is required to be developed with basic infrastructural support. As the region is having rich cultural heritage of the historical value but the unexplored places so far didn’t get any attention. Therefore, people living in such areas didn’t get their share of the due forcing their migration to other areas. Once such places were brought on the canvas of Ladakh Tourism, such migration shall stop and result in economic gains.
