Magical Ladakh!

by Arul on June 25th, 2010

It’s exactly an year after we embarked on a wonderful little trip to Ladakh! The memories are still very fresh in my mind!


Lazy me … have been planning to write about the trip for an year. Only god and time know when I’ll really sit down and write about this trip!


For now, thought of uploading a few pics from the trip!

See here for a few more pics!

Sleeping on the road What will you do if there is a broken bridge ahead which blocks all the traffic for hours?



4. we were lucky again that the bridge was fixed in three hrs time Will sleep anywhere!

19. Says it all Yes, the next filling station was 365KM away. What would be your reaction if this guy tells you that his pump isn’t working!

The spot where we were stuck as we couldn’t cross a heavy stream. We were stuck for several hours starting a cold evening till late night. Turned out to be the toughest night of the trip.
