World’s most scenic landing at Leh Ladakh Airport

With a flight path between the Himalayan mountains, the approach to Leh Airport is one of the most breathtaking and scenic in the world. It is situated in the Indian state of Ladakh, which is a strategic airbase for India and is also used for commercial operations.
Kushok Bakula Rimpoche Airport aka Leh Airport, is named after the respected Kushok Bakula Rinpoche, whose 19th incarnation was considered a significant Indian and Ladakhi statesman.
With a runway length of approximately 9,000ft (2,700m), sits at a height of 3,256m (10,700ft) above sea level, making it one of the airports situated at the highest altitude in the world. But with these mountains and elevation comes an extra risk involved at landing.
All take-offs and landings are made within a narrow window in the mornings due to the surrounding terrain. The mountains produce fierce afternoon winds along with mountain waves which are a serious hazard to flights.
Air India, Spicejet, Vistara and Indigo conduct frequent daily operations.
