What is the difference between Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh?

Jammu, Kashmir, and Ladakh are three distinct regions in the northernmost part of India. Jammu is known for its temples, historic sites, and cultural diversity. Kashmir is renowned for its picturesque landscapes, including serene lakes and lush valleys, often referred to as “Paradise on Earth.” Ladakh, often called the “Land of High Passes,” boasts starkly beautiful landscapes, ancient monasteries, and a unique Tibetan-Buddhist culture. While all three regions are part of the union territory of Jammu and Kashmir, they each offer unique experiences, from spirituality and natural beauty in Jammu and Kashmir to adventure and cultural immersion in Ladakh.
