Ladakh Proposes Rs 100 Crore Cricket Stadium at 11,800 Feet Altitude
Ladakh plans to build the Ranbirpur Cricket Stadium at about 11,800 feet near Leh, potentially making it one of the world's highest-altitude cricket venues. The stadium, with a seating capacity of around 40,000, is estimated to cost between Rs 100 and Rs 116 crore. The Leh Public Works Department initiated the project in August 2026 by seeking a Detailed Project Report to finalize design, facilities, and timeline. The stadium aims to enhance local sports infrastructure, promote cricket, and boost sports tourism in the region.
