Northern Lights in Ladakh! Auroras strike Ladakh skies in a rare event

Travellers in Ladakh were in for a surprise when the skies were set ablaze in colourful lights as a strong geomagnetic storm struck Earth's magnetic fields, thereby creating unreal auroras.

Auroras are usually witnessed at higher altitudes in parts of Norway, Alaska, and other countries.
