Ladakh is a region mostly in Jammu and Kashmir (with a bit in china and pakistan) and lies between the Kunlun and karakoram mountain ranges in the north and the main Great Himalayas to the south.
The mountain ranges in this region were formed over a period of 45 million years by the folding of the Indian plate into the more stationary Eurasian Plate. The drift continues, causing frequent earthquakes in the Himalayan region. The peaks in the Ladakh range are at a medium altitude close to the Zoji-la (5,000–5,500 m or 16,000–18,050 ft), and increase towards south-east, culminating in the twin summits of Nun-Kun (7000 m or 23,000 ft).
Ladakh is the highest plateau of state of Kashmir with much of it being over 3,000 m (9,800 ft).
Some cities in Ladakh are Leh, Drass, Kargil, suru, Padum, and, zanskar
The Indus river is the backbone of Ladakh. Most major historical and current towns — Shey,Leh, Basgo and Tingmosgang (but not Kargil), are situated close to the Indus River.
The largest town in Ladakh is Leh (the former capital of the Kingdom of Ladakh) with a population of 147,104, coordinates 34°08′43.43″N 77°34′03.41″E, and a size of 45,110 km squared.
the yak is the most important species for highlanders in these areas. In Ladakh, it faces one of the harshest environments available on earth.An excellent pack animal for snow-bound areas - its cup-shaped hooves create a vacuum, allowing it to walk easily on ice - the yak can cover 25-30 km per day, carrying loads up to 125-150 kg.
Leh receives year-round flights from Delhi, Srinagar and Jammu. Buses and share jeeps run from Srinagar to Leh from May to November, and from Manali to Leh from July to mid-October. Transport within the valley is mainly by local bus, chartered taxi or rented motorcycle.
In my opinion some push factors are the harsh weather (cold due to the surrounding mountains) and the lack of opportunity due to the isolation and small population (density). The main pull factors are the beautiful scenery (cause for tourism).
The flora and fauna of Ladakh was first studied by Ferdinand Stoliczka, an Austrian/Czech palaeontologist, who carried out a massive expedition in the region in the 1870s. The fauna of Ladakh have much in common with that of Central Asia generally, and especially those of the Tibetan Plateau. An exception to this is the birds, many of which migrate from the warmer parts of India to spend the summer in Ladakh. For such an arid area, Ladakh has a great diversity of birds — a total of 225 species have been recorded. Many of these birds reside or breed at high-altitude wetlands such as Tso Moriri.
the yak is the most important species for highlanders in these areas. In Ladakh, it faces one of the harshest environments. It feeds on grass with leaf blades barely an inch long at high altitudes in the summer, descending to lower ranges in the winter. An excellent pack animal for snow-bound areas - its cup-shaped hooves create a vacuum, allowing it to walk easily on ice - the yak can cover 25-30 km per day, carrying loads up to 125-150 kg.
Winters (October to May) are very cold frost bites and snowfall are common occurrence, making it a very inhospitable climate for visiting the place. During this season, the mercury level comes down to very well below 0°C and the whole area is covered with snow.
• Summer (June to September) is the best time to visit as it is the only season when the passes are open. The temperature is cool and can go up to 33°C. Summers are the ideal time to go to Leh as the skies are clear and offers panoramic views of the mountains. The average day temperature ranges from 20° to 30°C.
• Monsoon is not confined to any particular season as sporadic rainfall may occur at any time.
Ladakh is open for tourists only during the months from June toSeptember as during the rest of year, the passes remains covered with snow and travelling is not possible.
Ladakh mainly trades food even though their is a harsh cold climate. region has long been agriculturally self-sufficient. The land is irrigated by a system of channels which funnel water from the ice and snow of the mountains. The principal crops are barley and wheat, while at lower elevations fruit is grown. The higher altitudes are dominated by nomadic herders. Both apricots and pashmina (a kind of wool) are exported. Currently, the largest commercially sold agricultural product is vegetables, sold in large amounts to the Indian army as well as in the local market
The time zone for most of Ladakh is India Standard time (UTC+5:30) while the bit in china follows chinese standard time (UTC+8) and pakistani ladakh follows Pakistan Standard Time (UTC+8).
Changthang is a ecozone in Ladakh.Changthang means Northern Plateau in Tibetan. It is a high altitude plateau in western and northern Tibet. It goes from Ladakh east about 1600km to the Chinese state called Qinghai. It is a very high land with giant lakes. It is the home of the Changpa nomads.
Ladakh is in Jammu and Kasmir (India), Askai Chin (china), Tibet, and Baltistan (Pakistan).
Some Regions in Ladakh are The Suru Valley, Drass Valley, Pazila Watershed, Panzila Top, and The Himalyan Wall.
One issue in Ladakh is the greatly increasing level of pollution (namely grater amounts of trash thrown into the envirment.In my opinion this issue is largly due to the increasing tourist population because through my research I found that the native people in Ladakh respect their environment and treat it with great respect also before the tourist industry was dominant their seemed to be a smaller pollution level than after the tourists. escalating this issue is the fact that Ladakh a previously isolated region of the world has no proper recycling or garbage disposal system as the local people got everything from their natural environment (no wrappers etc. ). This issue affects the local landscape because Ladakh's very fragile ecosystem can not manage the trash and many animal/plant species are affected directly or indirectly.

Among Ladakh’s most important fauna are the: Bactrian Camel, Brown Bear, Ladakhi Urial, Lynx, Red Fox, Siberian Ibex, Snow Leopard, Tibetan Antelope, Tibetan Argali, Tibetan Gazelle, Tibetan Wild Ass, Tibetan Wolf, Wild Dog, and the Wild Yak.Among its indigenous and visiting wetlands birds are the endangered Black-necked Crane and Bar-headed Goose, and the Ruddy Shelduck, Gargeny, Northern Pintail, Northern Shoveller, Eurasian Pigeon, Gadwall, Mallard, and Red-Crested Pochard. Other birds found in the area are: the Golden Eagle, Himalayan Snowcock, Lammergeler, Osprey, Snow Partridge, Sparrow Hawk, Steppe Eagle and the Tibetan Sand Grouse.

In my opinion people in ladakh have changed the natural landscape largely due to tourism, the regions most important source of income by building more hotels, resorts, streets etc.
in my opinion precipitation levels in ladak are low because the surrounding Mountains cut of clouds from going near the area (called rain shadows).
Ladakh's earliest inhabitants were nomadic yak herders, but permanent settlements were established along the Indus by Buddhist pilgrims traveling from India to Mt Kailash in Tibet. Buddhism soon became the dominant religion, though the minority Brokpa tribe still follows Bonism: the religion that preceded Buddhism in Tibet.
By the 9th century, the Buddhist kings of Ladakh had established a kingdom extending all the way from Kashmir to Tibet, protected by forts and dotted with vast Buddhist gompas (monasteries). Different sects struggled for prominence, but the Gelukpa (Red Hat) order was introduced by the Tibetan pilgrim Tsongkhapa in the 14th century, and it soon became the major philosophy in the valley.
Simultaneously, Muslim armies began to invade Ladakh from the west. In the 16th century, the province fell briefly to Ali Mir of Balistan, but Buddhism bounced back under Singge Namgyal (1570–1642), who established a new capital at Leh. Ladakh was finally annexed into the kingdom of the Dogra Rajas of Jammu in 1846.
Since then, Ladakh has been ruled as a sub-district of Jammu and Kashmir. In response to anti-Buddhist discrimination, the Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council (LAHDC) was formed in 1996, lobbying for the creation of a Union Territory of Ladakh. Since then, candidates from the Ladakh Union Territory Front have lead the field at elections, but with the state government profiting heavily from Ladakh’s tourism industry, autonomy is likely to remain a distant dream.
Riding yaks in Ladakh
Traveling in Ladakh on two of the highest raods in the world, the chang la and khardung la pass.During winters this can be risky as the roads are covered in snow and difficulty to drive on.
The Panzila Top (4401 m) is the picturesque tableland adorned with two small alpine lakes and surrounded by snow covered peaks
The Suru valley is a valley in the Ladakh region of Jammu and Kashmir, which is drained by the Suru River (Indus), a powerful tributary of the Indus river. The valley's most significant town is Kargil.The lower part of the valley, at altitudes below 3,000 metres (9,843 ft), is one of the most agriculturally productive parts of Ladakh with two crops a year being harvested, watered by the run-off from the very heavy winter snowfalls, and even plantations of willow and poplar trees making it a relatively lush and very attractive area, but around Rangdum the landscapes are stark, flat moorlands ringed by arid crags.[6] The spikey white topped mountain peaks of the Nun-Kun massif, topping 7000m, are visible from several places in the valley.
