Fotoksar is a village in the Leh district of Ladakh, India. [1] It is located in the Khalsi tehsil.
Fotoksar is around 165 kilometres (103 mi) from the nearest airport city of Leh. While driving towards Lamayuru monastery from Leh, you turn left towards Wanla leaving the main Kargil-Leh highway. After 3 hours of driving, you will reach the foot of Sisir-La pass (4,760 metres (15,620 ft)). Drive further and beyond the pass, you'll get a great view of this remote village. The Sisir-La pass is open only in summers. So, in winters this village is cut off from the outside world.
According to the 2011 census of India, Fotoksar has 48 households. The effective literacy rate (i.e. the literacy rate of population excluding children aged 6 and below) is 71.23%. [2]
