- Ladakh is situated at a height of 3000 metres in Kargil to over 8000 metres in the Karakoram, this high altitude is the reason for extremely cold climate. Owing to the high altitude, the air is so thin that the heat of the sun can be felt intensely i.e. one can experience freezing winds and intense sunlight at the same time.
- Ladakh in India is a cold desert that lies in the Great Himalayas on the eastern side of Jammu and Kashmir.
