About Leh Ladakh
Buddhist gompas cling to rust-coloured mountains in a high-altitude desert where peaks scrape 20,000 feet and the sky burns cobalt blue. Prayer flags flutter in thin air across mountain passes; chanting echoes from whitewashed monasteries. A patchwork of barley fields and poplar groves creates emerald oases in an otherworldly moonscape.
