Abstract
Ladakh is a high altitude mountainous region of India located in the state of Jammu and Kashmir. The Ladakh region lies between the Kunlun mountain range in the north and the main Great Himalayas to the south. The Great Himalayas lying to the south forms a barrier to monsoon in this area. Due to this Ladakh is an isolated cold desert region. Altitude in Ladakh varies from place to place and is the main factor affecting local climate. The winter temperature touches as low as minus 30 degree (Leh and Kargil) and minus 60 degree in (Dras). The region of Ladakh normally remain land locked between November to June every year as Srinagar- Ladakh and Ladakh-Manali highways, which connect Ladakh with the other parts of the country, remains closed during the period because of snow and rigorous winter. Leh is one of the two districts of Ladakh region.
