Why Walk Leh

Leh sits at 3,500 meters in the Indus Valley, the historic capital of the Himalayan kingdom of Ladakh. The town is surrounded by barren mountains, whitewashed Buddhist monasteries, and turquoise lakes at extreme altitudes. Ladakh's culture is closely related to Tibet, and the region's gompa monasteries preserve centuries of Buddhist art and tradition.
