from group-2
*Ladakh* is a high-altitude region in northern India, known for its stunning landscapes, Buddhist culture, and strategic location. It became a separate *Union Territory* of India on *October 31, 2019, after the reorganization of the former state of Jammu and Kashmir. It consists of two districts: **Leh* and *Kargil*.
Ladakh lies between the *Kunlun* mountain range in the north and the *Himalayas* in the south, with an average elevation of over 3,000 meters (9,800 ft). It is one of the coldest and driest inhabited regions in the world. The *Indus River*, originating in Tibet, flows through the region and supports agriculture in the valleys.
Ladakh is culturally rich and deeply influenced by *Tibetan Buddhism, especially in the Leh district. Monasteries like **Hemis, **Thiksey, **Diskit, and **Lamayuru* are spiritual and architectural landmarks. In contrast, *Kargil* has a significant Muslim population, primarily Shia.
Tourism is a key part of the economy. Visitors are drawn to attractions like *Pangong
lake **Nubra Valley, **Magnetic Hill, and **Zanskar Valley. **Trekking, **motorbiking, **river rafting, and **mountain climbing* are popular adventure activities. The *Khardung La Pass*, one of the world’s highest motorable roads, is a highlight for travelers.
Ladakh is also strategically important, sharing borders with *China (Tibet)* and *Pakistan. It has seen military tensions, notably in areas like **Galwan Valley*.
Agriculture, handicrafts (like pashmina shawls and woolen garments), and tourism sustain the local economy. The people, mainly *Ladakhis*, are known for their resilience and hospitality.
Efforts are ongoing to preserve Ladakh’s fragile environment and unique culture while developing sustainable tourism and infrastructure. It stands as a unique blend of natural beauty, spiritual heritage, and geopolitical significance.
