Range and the Tibetan Plateau, is the most rugged region of the entire
Himalayan ranges. Ladakh is located at a height of 4600 metres in the
outer Himalayas. The most interesting fact about the place is that it is
devoid of natural forests and seems to be naked with only a bit of
greenery along the river banks.
