This video explains the three major physical barriers which impact the road connectivity between Daulat Beg Old (DBO) Sector and Leh, the capital of Union Territory of Ladakh.
These natural barriers not only present physical and engineering challenge, but also define the alignment of any potential road development.
These tree main barriers are the Ladakh Range, extension of the mighty Karakorum Range and the Shyok river.
In addition, we also look at the alignment of historic trade route between Leh and Yarkand and Kashgar in present day Xinjiang province of China.
This analysis is precursor to subsequent video which explains in details the road connectivity between Leh and the DBO Sector.
