Ladakh covers about 45,000 square miles (117,000 square km) and contains the Ladakh Range, which is a southeastern extension of the Karakoram Range, and the upper Indus River valley. Ladakh is one of the highest regions of the world. Its natural features consist mainly of high plains, deep valleys, rivers, lakes, and a series of mountain passes such as Umling La, through which runs the world’s highest drivable road. The high plain predominates in the east, diminishing gradually toward the west. In southeastern Ladakh lies Rupshu, an area of large, brackish lakes, among them the popular tourist destination of Tso Moriri, with a uniform elevation of about 13,500 feet (4,100 meters). To the northwest of Rupshu lies the Zanskar Range, an inaccessible region where the people and the cattle remain indoors for much of the year because of the cold. Zanskar is drained by the Zanskar River, which, flowing northward, joins the Indus River below Leh.
