High-altitude desert, Buddhist monasteries and mountain passes.

Ladakh is a high Himalayan desert with Tibetan Buddhist culture: cliff-top monasteries like Thiksey and Hemis around Leh, the sand dunes and double-humped camels of the Nubra Valley, and the deep-blue Pangong Lake. Acclimatisation is essential at 3,500 m.
