Ladakh plans world's highest cricket stadium at 11,800 feet — more than twice Dharamshala's height
- Ladakh has proposed a Rs 100 crore cricket stadium near Thiksey in Leh at 11,800 feet — the world's highest if built.
- The current highest international cricket stadium is Dharamshala's HPCA ground at 4,780 feet — Ladakh's proposal is more than twice that height.
- The proposed stadium, likely to be named the Ranbirpur Cricket Stadium
- The thin air at 11,800 feet poses unique challenges — balls travel further, bowlers tire faster and fielders struggle to breathe at altitude.
