Ladakh ("land of high
passes") is a region in northern
India. It is located between the
Kunlun mountain range in the north and the main
Himalayas to the south. Ladakh is well-known for its remote
mountain scenery. It is inhabited by a mix of
Indo-Aryan and
Tibetan people.
[7] Their
language is an archaic dialect of the
Tibetan language. It is sometimes called "Little Tibet", because it has been strongly influenced by Tibetan culture. Ladakh is one of the least
populated regions in the area.
Historically, the region of Ladakh included neighbouring Baltistan, the Indus and Zanskar Valleys, Lahaul and Spiti, Aksai Chin and the Nubra Valley. The modern region borders Tibet to the east, Lahaul and Spiti to the south, and Kashmir, Jammu and Baltistan to the west.
