Answer:
the altitude in ladakh varies from about 3000 to 8000m. due to its high altitude, the climate is extremely cold and dry. moreover, the air at this altitude is so thin that the heat of the sun can be felt intensely. the day temperatures in summers are just above zero degree and the night temperatures are well below 30°. it is freezing cold in the winter, with the temperature mostly remaining in below -40°. as it lies in the rain shadow of the Himalayas, there is little rainfall, as low as 10 cm every year.
