At an altitude of 11,500 ft above sea level, the city of Leh is one of the most unique places to visit in India. Trapped in its mountains of desolation, its valleys are broken, and the ground underfoot barren, this city is a reminder that it is an oasis in a land of ice and snow. A place of ancient commerce made synonymous with the Indus River, Leh is the city of mud-brick huts and whitewashed monas. It sits within a mosaic of green fields and desolate yellow-brown fields that climb to blend with snow-dusted mountains around the outskirts of the city.

The erstwhile capital of the Kingdom of Ladakh and the former residence of its royal family, Ladakh is well-known for its rich cultural heritage and the sacred ancient monasteries dotted in and around it. A large part of the place’s appeal lies in the medieval old town, which is a historic and cultural centre in the city centre. The old town, also known as Kharyog, is characterised by a maze of narrow alleys, mini Buddhist stupas, and traditional Ladakhi houses.

Houses are constructed of mud bricks, have flat roofs, and have elaborately carved wooden elements. One of the most prominent landmarks here is the Leh Palace, a nine-story royal abode built in the 16th century by King Sengge Namgyal. The palace boasts spectacular views of the city and the hills and is open to the public as a museum today. The city also features lively local markets, local bakeries for pastries and sweets, and a wide selection of restaurants, cafes, and retail shops selling local crafts, trinkets, and souvenirs.

The Pangong Tso, or Pangong Lake, is the most popular destination on this trip.

It is located roughly 14270 feet above sea level on the Indo-Tibetan frontier. Surprisingly, only one-third of this 134-km-long lake is situated within the Indian Territory. During winter, the lake freezes completely, turning into a massive flattened ice block flanked by white mountains.

Pangong Tso changes colour according to the time of day and the angle of the sun’s rays, displaying a spectrum of blues. A photographer’s dream, the location provides stunning images with the lake’s water set against a backdrop of the parched mountains and sky, with blue heavens overhead.
