Leh Kushok Bakula Rimpochee Airport is an airport in Leh, Jammu and Kashmir, India. It's one of the highest airports in the world at 3,256 m (10,682 ft) above mean sea level. Due to problems with terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir, the security in Leh Airport is paramount. Earlier, on flights departing from Leh, hand baggage was not permitted. Additionally, a substantial number of police and the Indian Army patrol the airport. Also, due to the presence of mountain winds in the afternoon, all flights in Leh take off and land in the morning, around 7:00 am. Kushok Bakula Rinpoche (b. May 21, 1917, d.
