“The land of endless discovery”
Ladakh, Kashmir,
11/05/2014 - 17/05/2014.
Jule guys,
From Mumbai to New Delhi and
New Delhi to Leh, we set deck on the land of endless discovery “LADAKH”. Leaving
the dog days in Mumbai for frosty weather in Ladakh only made us go brrrr…….
Ladakh, the land of endless
passes.
Passing through the highest motor
able road in the world, “Khardungla” pass (18,380 ft.) we reached “Nubra valley”.
The valley with cold desert encompassed by snow capped mountains features a
scene for far cry from each other.
Crossing the 3rd highest
motor able roads, “Chang La pass” (17,350 ft.) we reached the “Pangong Tso” (14,270
ft.). The pristine water of Pangong briny and iridescent gave the appearance of
being tinged blue.
The confluence –“Sangam” of the 2 rivers,
“Zanskar” and “Indus” was unveiled by its distinctive colors. The Zanskar
flowing from the melted ice of the largest glacier “Drang-Drung” of Ladakh is
grey, disparate from the Indus which breezes in as sky blue and bestows an
alluring sight.
A car
moving towards the upper end of the slope when in neutral gear was an
electrifying phenomenon experienced on the “Magnetic hill”.
Ladakh
home to lofty mountains, picturesque lakes, profound valleys, elegant Buddhist monasteries,
grisly army and smiling faces of the Ladakhis makes one visit Ladakh again and
again. :D
