 INTRODUCTION

Arts integration differs from traditional education by its

inclusion of both the arts discipline and a traditional subject
as part of learning (e.g. using improvisational drama skills to
learn about conflict in writing.) The goal of arts integration is
to increase knowledge of a general subject area while
concurrently fostering a greater understanding and
appreciation of the fine and performing arts. The John F.
Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts defines arts
integration as "an approach to teaching in which students
construct and demonstrate understanding through an art
form. Students engage in a creative process which connects
an art form and another subject and meets evolving
objectives in both."

Words cannot describe the beauty and serenity of Ladakh that the eyes can do. Pictures and
videos simply do not do justice to the scenic bliss that Ladakh offers. What makes the place
more special is the fact that it plays to every kind of audience. Right from quenching the thirst
of motorcycle enthusiasts to offering spirituality to the ones seeking peace, Ladakh is perfect
for all.
Located at an altitude of 8,370 ft from sea level, the 'land of high passes' gives the Himalayan
range a beautiful blend of green and white. You heard that right. With vast expanses of white
sand, the ruggedness of the Himalayas can be witnessed. But nothing compares to the tranquil
vibe that the lakes offer. Pristine beauty is what you will find at Leh Ladakh, that is guaranteed.
The best season to visit Leh Ladakh is during the summer. The months of April-May are ideal to
visit Ladakh as many of the tourist places would be open. June to August months are also some
range that travellers opt for to avoid excess tourist crowd. Since the altitude is so high, Ladakh
experiences long winters.

Travelling लेह तक पहुँचने के साधन-
Bike:There are a few of you who are waiting for that
amazing bike trip to Ladakh. It is said that the
beauty of Ladakh can be best enjoyed through bike
trip. Riding through the amazing beauty of the region
is something which will be cherished by you every
day. There are two different routes that lead to
Ladakh- one from Srinagar and the other from
Manali: Srinagar to Leh and Manali to Leh.
सड़क मार्ग –
रोमांचित ट्रिप पर जाने के लिए सड़क मार्ग ही उपर्युक्त है आमतौर पर मनाली से 47 3
किलोमीटर दूर तक पहुंचने के लिए पर्यटक बाइक या कार का इस्तेमाल करते हैं|
सार्वजनिक बसें भी इस शहर में मिल जाएगी, साथ ही यहां किराए पर टैक्सी भी ले
सकते हैं |

Train: If you are planning to travel by train the

closest railroad station is Jammu Tawi (700 km
from Ladakh) which is all around associated
with Delhi, Kolkata and Mumbai. You can
enlist a taxi or board a JKSRTC transport to
achieve Ladakh from that point
रेल मार्ग ले से सबसे निकटतम रेलवे स्टेशन पठानकोट और चंडीगढ़ है
हालांकि यह दोनों ही जगह से 800 किलोमीटर की दूरी पर है इसीलिए तक
पहुंचने में 3 दिन का समय लगता है |
.
 Air:There might be changes in the flights
during winter due to the weather conditions.
Leh Kushok Bakula Rimpochee Airport is
the main airport of the area. This is the
closest airport at Leh, which is all around
associated with Delhi, Jammu, Srinagar,
Chandigarh and a few different urban areas

It is a high altitude saltwater lake situated at almost 4, 350 meters . The lake is almost 5
kilometers wide and 134 kilometers long, with one-third of it lying in India & the other two-
thirds in China. This famous lake in Ladakh is also quite deep, as it reaches a maximum depth of
almost 328 feet..after.
Pangong Tso Lake is one of those places which
you can imagine would be very beautiful, but
it’s not until you visit it that you come to terms
with its beauty. Among the other famous lakes
in Ladakh, this one is especially popular both
because of its breathtaking beauty and being a
delicate border point along the Line of Actual
Control.”PangoThe foremost thing to see at
Pangong Tso Lake is its beauty, you just can't
get enough of it. The mountains, with their
gradual slopes which meet the deep blue
meditatives waters of the lake, is a sight that
remains lodged in your memory for a long
time. Brahminy ducks can also be seen
standing on the banks of the lake, looking for a
catch or two. The lake is extremely popular
among photographers, selfie enthusiasts and
those on a bike trip to Ladakh.eep.

 Imagine a sparkling blue lake nestled in the midst of
TSO MORIRI LAKE rugged surroundings. That, my friends, is Tso Moriri
lake. Being 15000 ft above sea level in a rather rough
environment is this tiny paradise. The place is often not
considered ideal by many tourists due to the high altitude
at which it stands proudly. However, with its impeccably
undisturbed ambiance, it would be shame to miss this
place.

Thiksey Monastery
This 12-storey complex hosts over 500 monks and is
considered to be one of the most beautiful Buddhist
monasteries in all of Ladakh. For Ladakh sightseeing,
Thiksey Gompa will enlighten you with knowledge about
some of the Buddhist culture, lifestyle, scriptures, statues
and even paintings.
 Khardung-la Pass
Rent a Himalayan and go nuts on the road to
Khardung-la pass. The pass is a gateway to the
Nubra as well as Shyok valley and is one of
the most elevated motorable terrains
worldwide. Interestingly, the roads were
opened in 1988 for vehicles to pass through.
Cruisers and Himalayans considered to be the
best means to travel here, to experience the
rugged beauty of the journey.

Nubra Valley
Famous for its white sand deserts and double-humped camels,
Nubra Valley is certainly one of the best places to visit in
Ladakh. Not just the scenic slopes of Karakoram range but
also the confluence of Shyak and Siachen rivers is what makes
Nubra valley an exquisite voyage!
