Wildlife Tour
Ladakh possesses virtually no natural forests, though along
riverbanks and valleys some greenery does exist. The lower
mountain slopes are sparse but higher up, near the snow line,
wild rose, willow and herbaceous plants have successfully
colonized the slopes. This is the alpine zone. While soil, wind,
precipitation and exposure are important determinants in the
arrangement of specific life, the temperature differential due
to altitude is by far the most important factor. Because of the
decrease in the temperature, vegetation becomes more sparse and
stunted as one ascends the slopes.
