Monasteries perched on outcrops above a high-altitude desert, a road that claims to be the highest motorable pass on earth every few hundred kilometres, and a night sky at three and a half thousand metres that needs no filter.
The best time to visit Ladakh — the Indian Himalaya is Jun–Sep, when typical daytime highs reach about 20°C (69°F).
