Solution
Ladakh is a cold and barren desert, situated among different mountain ranges. Because of its extremely remote location, it is sometimes known as ‘Moonland’. The major mountain ranges in the Ladakh range are the Karakoram Range and the Ladakh range. There are many high mountain peaks, the most notable of them being the K2.
The Ladakh region is drained by many rivers, the Indus being the largest. Rivers Shyok, Zaskar, Numbra and Suru are its tributaries. These rivers have carved deep valleys in the otherwise rocky desert surface. There are a few large lakes in this region as well, the Pangong Tso being the largest.
