As one of the more inaccessible parts of the Himalayan Ranges, Ladakh division of the Jammu and Kashmir state is a remote and resource poor region that witnessed little change in the technological level over the centuries. It could be considered as an important study area because it is a microcosm - a model of human adaptation to an extreme environment. This successful human - environment relationship is all more impressive when we consider the extreme sensitivity of the mountatin system or even small disturbances and the tendency for such disturbance to be irreversible (UNESCO, MAB Series 14, 1974)
