Lakes on the Roof of the World Trek | Ladakh

What I love about Ladakh is its depth. The setting of this trek is on the high Changtang plateau, which is called "the roof the world" in modern media. The Changtang is located on the northern side of the Himalayas and thus is in a rain shadow from the summer monsoon rains in Nepal and further East.
