Wedged in between Pakistan and Tibet, in the remote northwest of India, the Ladakh district takes its name from La-dvags, meaning ‘land of mountain passes’ in Tibetan.
Most of this plateau, that stretches from the Himalayas to the Kunlun mountains, lies at an altitude of over 3,000 metres and many of its passes are more than 5,000 metres above sea level. In this cold, high altitude desert, the climate is harsh, with very limited sources of water.
In winter, temperatures easily reach -30 degrees Celsius and heavy snowfall makes most of Ladakh inaccessible by road for months.
