Leh is a town in the union territory of Jammu and Kashmir and used to be the capital of Ladakh. It is high up in the mountains about 3,500 meters above sea level.

One of natural wonders near Leh is the Shyok River which flows directly through the rugged valleys of Ladakh. It is a smaller river that joins the Indus and is often called the River of Death because of its rocky paths and strong, fast moving water.
