At 11,562 feet above sea level, we spent the first few days in Ladakhi capital of Leh moving slow. The altitude had us out of breath and head spun even after a short walk. The high desert region bordering the east side of Tibet is spectacular both scenically and culturally--as we climatized it was easy to settle in and hard to leave.
Leh is an oasis in a moonscape.
