Ladakh

Leh - the capital

Leh, the capital of Ladakh, lies at an altitude of 3,505 m above sea level - around 500 meters above the Zugspitze. The cityscape is dominated by the half-destroyed royal palace, built by Sengge Namgyal in the 17th century. From this palace you have an impressive view over the whole of Leh, parts of the Indus valley and the Stok Kangri, with its 6,150 m the highest mountain in the surrounding area.
