Answer:
The height of the mountain ranges in Ladakh region prevent the cold desert from the crossing of the clouds, that's why there is low rainfall in Ladakh.

The Indian cold desert Ladakh is situated at high elevation. The desert is surrounded by the heights of mountain ranges. The area has very less humidity and the desert is marked by extreme aridity. The great Karakoram ranges, Himalayan mountains and Zanskar ranges are preventing the cloud crossing from the area. This is the major cause of less rainfall in Ladakh region. The desert recieves only 2 inches annually which is very low and cause scarcity of water in the area and among locals. The desert is situated at a great height covered with supreme mountains, this cause extreme cold in the region and low rainfall.
