Leh lies at an elevation of 3,520m in the Ladakh region of Jammu and Kashmir.

In the later part of the 4th century and early 5th century, these two groups were joined by an agricultural tribe of Indo-Aryan origin, the Dards.
Ladakh was annexed to Kashmir in 1932 by a Dogra general, Zorawar Singh, and became a part of India in 1948. The city of Leh became Ladakh's headquarters. Leh's position was further strengthened when Ladakh obtained decentralized administration under the Autonomous Hill Development Council in 1995.
