Situated between 32° to 36° latitude and 75° to 80° longitude, the Leh district covers an area of approximately 45,100 square kilometers and is the second largest district in the country. A barren, sandy, high altitude desert, the district is bounded by Pakistan occupied Kashmir in the West, Lehaul Spiti of Himachal Pradesh in the South and Tibet in the North and East. It is at a distance of 434 kilometers from the State's summer capital, Srinagar and 474 kilometers from Manali, Himachal Pradesh.

Topographically, the whole of the district is mountainous with average altitude ranging from 7,545 to 19,685 feet above sea level and parallel ranges running from North West to South East, namely, the Himalayas, the Zanskar, the Ladakh and the Karakoram Range. The Indus, Shyok, Nubra and Zanskar rivers flow between these ranges and most of the population lives in their valleys.
