Leh Valley (Explore!)
View towards Stok Kangri, the highest peak in the Leh area. Leh city is at an altitude of 11,500ft and Stok Kangri, the high peak in view here, is 20,182 ft (6,153 m) in height. Ladakh does not have any of the highest individual peaks in the Karakorams/Himalayas but the average height of 18,000 ft is significant as a massive barrier guarding the Indian border with Tibet/China on the East. West of the Stok range (beyond this view) is the remote Zanskar region.
