How they differ

Tasmania (Australia) also has the larger population: 540,000 against 274,000, 1.97× as many people.
Per square kilometre that is 7.9 in Tasmania (Australia) against 4.3 in Ladakh: Tasmania (Australia) is 1.86× as densely populated.
Their centres are about 11,000 km apart.
A standard web map misstates the comparison: Tasmania (Australia) at 42°S is drawn about 1.8× too large and Ladakh at 34°N about 1.5×, so the map shows Tasmania (Australia) as 1.32× the size of Ladakh instead of 1.06×.
Together Tasmania (Australia) and Ladakh cover 132,000 km², close to the size of Greece (131,000 km², 0.8% smaller).
The gap between them, 3,860 km², is about the size of Cape Verde (3,930 km²).
At Ladakh's density, Tasmania (Australia) would have 291,000 people (it has 540,000). At Tasmania (Australia)'s density, Ladakh would have 509,000 (it has 274,000).

Sources and method

Outlines: Natural Earth, 1:10m Admin 1 - States, Provinces, public domain
Boundary: De facto, as drawn by Natural Earth. A region is drawn whole, every island included; a country is its main territory.
Area: Measured on the WGS84 ellipsoid from the full-detail outlines, shown rounded.
Drawing: Each outline is projected with an equal-area projection centred on its own centroid, so areas stay true and the two can be laid over each other.
