The correct answer is Ladakh.
The location specified is 34° N latitude and 77° E longitude. Let’s check the approximate locations of the given Union Territories:
– Andaman and Nicobar Islands are located in the Bay of Bengal, much further south (around 6°-14° N).
– Lakshadweep is located in the Arabian Sea, much further south (around 8°-12° N).
– Puducherry is located on the southern coast of India, much further south (around 11°-13° N).
– Ladakh is located in the northern part of India. The capital of Ladakh, Leh, is located at approximately 34° N and 77° E. These coordinates fall squarely within the geographical area of Ladakh.
Prior to August 2019, Ladakh was part of the state of Jammu and Kashmir. Following the reorganization of Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh was constituted as a separate Union Territory. It is known for its high altitude, mountainous terrain, and unique culture.
