Leh ladakh is one of the must visit destination if you are a nature lover. It is the only place where you get a desert as well as snow. There are beautiful landscapes, snow covered mountains, rivers with crystal clear water and most important is the temperature. I was there in sep 2018 and avg temp during day was around 3C and night it dropped to 0C or below. The world famous Pangong Lake is absolutely amazing. It is home to some of the best species of bird. It is surrounded by mountains and has a mesmerising view. Apart from this Nubra Valley is the place exactly opposite to Pangong. It is surrounded by sand dunes. The camels there are different species having 2 humps.
Unlike Srinagar, people in leh are co operative. They survive on tourism which is in full flow only for 6 months. Remaining 6 months there is snowfall and temp constantly dipping.
If you are a adventure lover this is a must visit place.There are misconcepts abt climate and people but I can assure tht there is nothing dangerous like in srinagar.
