Synopsis Cold Desert, Ladakh by : M. K. Bhasin
As one of the more inaccessible parts of the Himalayan Ranges, Ladakh division of the Jammu and Kashmir state is a remote and resource poor region that witnessed little change in the technological level over the centuries. It could be considered as an important study area because it is a microcosm - a model of human adaptation to an extreme environment. This successful human - environment relationship is all more impressive when we consider the extreme sensitivity of the mountatin system or even small disturbances and the tendency for such disturbance to be irreversible (UNESCO, MAB Series 14, 1974

Synopsis Ladakh in the Twentieth Century by : Dr Sudhir S Bloeria
Ladakh, for centuries, has been a land of mystery for the people of many ethnicities. Notwithstanding a rich historical background, Ladakh today is a vastland with its own unique culture and traditions. Known by many names like the Land of Lamas, Moon land, Land of High Winds, Cold Desert and the like; Ladakh is truly the Nature's workshop, studio and art gallery all rolled in one. This book is dedicated by the author to Rigzin Namgyal Kalon, the man who did wonders for the development of the Ladakh region. Ladakh and many generations to follow would always be grateful to him and all that he did for this region and the people, irrespective of their place, caste, creed or religion. For Ladakh, with all its glory and splendid isolation; the twentieth century has been a period of great trials and tribulations, crisis and opportunities; and in the final analysis a number of downs and many more ups. The region has flourished but is still not clearly out of the woods. The author with his personal experience in the region has brought out these facets of the region in great details.

Synopsis Ladakh by : Vasudevan M
This book attempts to capture the beauty of 'Ladakh', a high altitude cold desert in the Himalayas, in pictures through my eyes, along with some facts. As we all aware, no photograph can truly do justice to this picturesque and breathtakingly beautiful land that stands unique from every place on this earth. However, I have tried to capture some frames in the hope that they would inspire people around the world to come and explore the paradise that is Ladakh. The journey to Leh, the capital of Ladakh, through the world's highest motarable roads is an experience that should not be missed by any road-tip enthusiast. So, let us start exploring Ladakh in pictures.In addition to this, there are also photographs captured in the other parts of Himalayas (i.e. Kashmir & Uttarakhand) included for you to get a glimpse of beauty of these places as well. I hope this will not only inspire you to travel but also help you to learn about these places, people, and their culture.

Synopsis Environmental Change and Development in Ladakh, Indian Trans-Himalaya by : Blaise Humbert-Droz
The Trans-Himalayan region of Ladakh has witnessed important changes linked to its geo-strategic importance, the rapid development of means of communication with other parts of India, socio-economic transformation processes and the effects of climate change. The sixteen chapters document these key changes, ranging from melting glaciers and extreme weather events to the exponential increase in infrastructure, tourist and military activities. The book examines the impact these changes are having on the environment and on the socio-economics and identity of Ladakhi communities. The book also attempts to evaluate the likely direction of future changes, identify some of the main environmental challenges faced by Ladakh in the 21st century, and provide perspectives for sustainable development of the high mountain region.
