The brackish water lake appears to cycle through stunning shades of blue and green through the day, but its recent popularity with Indian tourists owes more to its cameos in Bollywood hits such as '3 Idiots'.

This is at Digar La, at 5,300m to 5,400m - depending on whom you ask. Views[655] Mohammed the shepherd, near Saboo village. Most Ladakhis in Leh District are Buddhist, but those that are not are largely Shia Muslims. Views[1102] A ten-story high statue of the Buddha as Maitreya presides over the Nubra valley at Deskit.
