The first light in Ladakh feels thin and clean — a pale sun slicing over craggy ridgelines while the town of Leh wakes under a blue dome. Your arrival morning is quiet: thin air, prayer flags snapping, and the Indus threading the valley below. Days here move by road and rim — palace terraces and monasteries, then wide, wind-cut plains that end at salt-blue Pangong.
