Leh, Ladakh

Leh is a buddhist town in Northern India located 3500 meters. Located in a valley engulfed by the himalayan mountains. Aside from the usual medley of marketplaces, petty shops, and stray dogs, the town has two beacons on its camel-hump hills overlooking the city- the few hundred year old palace where the former king presided and an old gompa.
