Topography
The basic topography of the Hemis High Altitude National Park is mountainous and rugged high altitude desert. The landscape is vast and makes you lose your sense of distances very easily. What seems a single kilometer away turns out to be at least 10 kilometers away. There are high cliffs with huge rocky outcrops, which are interspersed by belts of sparse high altitude vegetation. For keen photographers, it is advisable to take along enough rolls of film as one is tempted to take photographs at every bend due to the combination of the astonishingly beautiful landscape and the brilliant blue sky with it's milky white rolling clouds.
