At the Stern Heights of the Himalaya, between historic passes and spectacular peaks lies the great Himalayan desert. Extending from Mustang in Nepal it includes the Indian districts of Ladakh, Lahul, Spiti and Kinnaur. This vast area of brown hills, barren, dry and dusty,is covered in snow and sand.
This is also one of the harshest regions of the world. Temperatures dip below -50 degrees centigrade, icy winds howl through the valleys causing rock and ice falls, illusory sounds draw the unwary to death and water is dearer than life.
