Palace and old town
Below the palace ridge, the old town is a knot of narrow, irregular lanes. It is the densest part of the map and sits high up on the slope, above the modern town.

Tabula
Leh sits at roughly 3,500 metres in the Indus valley in Ladakh, spreading down a broad alluvial slope toward the river. From above, the town takes the shape of a fan: a compact old quarter at the top, beneath the ridge, and looser, greener streets that thin out into fields and irrigated plots on the way down to the valley floor.
The old town gathers at the foot of Leh Palace, a nine-storey royal residence built in the seventeenth century, with the Namgyal Tsemo monastery higher on the ridge behind it. Across town the white Shanti Stupa stands on its own hill. For centuries Leh was a stop on caravan routes between the Himalaya and Central Asia, which explains its layout around a central market street.
A Leh map poster turns this setting into a study of contrast. The dense lanes of the old town appear as a tight knot, while roads uncoil across empty, dry terrain toward the airport and the Indus. Much of the sheet is quiet, open ground, which suits the minimal style and gives the town itself a strong presence.
Below the palace ridge, the old town is a knot of narrow, irregular lanes. It is the densest part of the map and sits high up on the slope, above the modern town.
The river runs along the southern edge of the town, well below the centre. Fields and villages follow its course, forming a green line through otherwise dry country.
Roads leading out of Leh wind across the bare slopes in long curves and hairpins. In black and white they read almost like handwriting on an empty page.

Cur Leh
Leh is a place people travel a long way to reach, and many come back with the altitude, the light and the mountain roads still on their minds. A map of the town is a restrained way to remember the journey.
Add the date of your trip or the name of a pass to the subtitle, keep or edit the coordinates line, and choose one of five styles. Sand echoes the dry valley, while Noir makes the road lines stand out against a dark ground.
