Default Ladakh or Nepal

From Switzerland I am planning to spend my summer holiday trekking in Asia.
Should I visit Ladakh or should I trek in Nepal? Any good tips?

Thanks

Unless the situation with the civil war in Nepal (between Maoist
rebels and the Nepali government) calms down, definitely go to Ladakh.
So far no travelers have been harmed by the Maoists, but there's no
guarantee that that will continue as the violence is worsening. The
government is losing control of many rural districts, including some
of the main trekking routes, and rebels extort money from any
travelers they encounter.
