I will have to look at this later. But when we were in Leh in 2012, there were definitely stray dogs, however, they were not running the town. Or maybe not yet?
If you would meet such a dog on his own, they are no problem and actually playful. But in groups it can be scary. I remember one occasion in Leh where it was a dark street and these dogs were fighting each other. Not nice at all, but not aimed at humans.
It is probably only getting worse.
We got a Rabies vaccination before we left on that trip. We were doubting about it, but I think it is good to be protected because you can die pretty quickly.
However, it is one of the more expensive vaccines.
And you can usually just avoid the dogs or the areas where they are in. But never 100% of course.
