Ladakh also known as little Tibet is a desert land with few natural resources and an extreme climate. This region experiences a minimum temperature of – 30 degrees in winters and 35 degrees in summer. Snowfall extends the winters for longer duration destroying crops, closing roads to Ladakh for 6 months in an year making access to the area very difficult. Areas with high snowfall causes floods wherein areas with low snowfall faces water and food shortages.

Leh is one of the highest cities in the world. The climate change has impacted Ladakh as snowfall and weather conditions have become erratic and unpredictable. The narrow Hindukush corridor and narrow Indus river cleaves the territory of Ladakh. The region of Ladakh acted as the nexus point between South Asia and Central Asia when silk route was being utilized.
