Leh - a high-desert city in the Himalayas, is the capital of the Leh region in northern India’s Jammu and Kashmir state.
The colorful monasteries, steep curves, snow-topped peaks, double humped camels, burning sun, freezing winds and a destination that comes straight out of the world of fantasies.
Bordered on the northwest with Pakistan, north with the Chinese province of Sinkiang and east with Tibet, stands this GIANT kingdom.
Took a Early morning flight from Delhi to Leh at 8 AM. View from the Flight window just landing before Leh Airport.
Mesmerized with the Leh weather after landing in Leh airport @ 10 AM.
Once you are in Leh, relax and let your body acclimatize to this sudden change of altitude. We took whole day rest in our hotel room.
The view from our Hotel window is just amazing.
Next day was planned for Day tour in Leh City and here are the places, we covered.
3 Idiot's school (Druk White Lotuse School ) - Where the 3 Idiots movie was shooted

Room 15 displays clothing worn by soldiers at -50ºC.
