While the place has lot of natural beauty, it is also one of the toughest environments for living. We stopped by a local house in Leh. It's hard to how imagine someone can live in such harsh conditions. For six months in winter, everything pretty much shuts down. Inspite of all this, it was interesting to see that people in Leh are some of the most content people you will meet.
