Description

Leh, Ladakh, India
Built in the 17th century, Leh Palace is a former royal palace overlooking the Ladakhi Himalayan town of Leh. The palace was abandoned by the royal family in the mid 19th century.

In the recent time, a devastating cloudburst that triggered flash flood, mudslides and debris flows had caused extensive damage to life, property and infrastructure in this town in 2010, impacts of that are still visible in this image.

Hope the people are hanging there. Looks like it has much beauty still and hope the people can rebuild the city. #11458030
