The Morning Shades, a photo from Jammu and Kashmir, North

Photographer's Note

Leh (लेह), was the capital of the Himalayan kingdom of Ladakh, now the Leh District in the state of Jammu and Kashmir, India. Leh, with an area of 45,110 km2, is the second largest district in the country in terms of area.

The town is still dominated by the now ruined Leh Palace, former mansion of the royal family of Ladakh, built in the same style and about the same time as the Potala Palace. Leh is at an altitude of 3524 metres (11,562 ft). National Highway 1D connects it to Srinagar in the northwest.

Leh was an important stopover on trade routes along the Indus Valley between Tibet to the east, Kashmir to the west and also between India and China for centuries. The main goods carried were salt, grain, pashm or cashmere wool, charas or cannabis resin from the Tarim Basin, indigo, silk yarn and Banaras brocade.

Hello Jugnu.

The landscape of the Himalayas is amazing, and it is a nice scenery you've shared. I can imagine those background mountains must be very tall as it's still some snow in end of June. I'm glad you share, because I don't often see images from that area in here.

Best regards from Norway.
