The Trans-Himalayas Mountain Region or Tibet Himalayan Region is located to the north of the Great Himalayas which is consists of Karakoram, Ladakh, Zaskar and Kailash mountain ranges. It runs over around 1,000 kilometres in an east-west direction with an average elevation of 3000 metres above sea level.
In this tour we are highlighting and covering the Ladakh Ranges: located to the north of Leh, which merges with the Kailash range in Tibet. Khardung La and Digar La are two significant passes to the north and east of Leh.
It is bounded to the east by the Chinese Tibet Autonomous Region, to the south by the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh, to the west by both the Indian union territory of Jammu and Kashmir and Pakistan-administered Gilgit-Baltistan, and to the far north by the southwest corner of Xinjiang across the Karakoram Pass.
The region is drained by the Indus River and its major tributaries, the Shyok-Nubra, Chang Chenmo, Hanle, Zanskar, and Suru-dras rivers.
The high altitude terrain of Ladakh was produced by glaciofluvial processes enhanced by freeze-thaw weathering. Ladakh has a severe climate and is one of the highest and driest inhabited areas on the planet. Ladakh’s climate is known as a “cold desert” climate because of its arctic and desert characteristics.
