We all know that Sahara is a hot desert in Africa and Ladhak is cold mountain desert in the Himalayas.
Therefore flora and fauna changes drastically in both the regions accordingly. In Sahara, we have very fewer plants, and most of them are cactus types.
Whereas in Ladhak we get to see coniferous trees and plants. Flowers are very rarely seen in both regions.
