The Ladakh Desert is located high in the rain shadow of the Himalayas in northern India. Summer daytime temperatures can be quite pleasant but nights are quite chilly. In the winter the nightime temperature cal fall below zero degrees F. The Ladakh never experiences the high heat of a hot desert.
Leh, the capital city for example, is around 3500 metres above sea level. As altitude increases the temperature decreases.
Also Ladakh has a very dry climate, with the sun shining on most days. Due to these clear days the temperature actually gets lower as there is no cloud cover keeping the heat in.
