Last October 4, we landed at Leh airport, coming from Srinagar, Kashmir. We were very much looking forward to this after the hustle and bustle of Kashmir. The contrast could not be greater between these totally different states in India. The journey we have planned will take 11 days at this altitude, which varies between 3200 and 5600m above sea level. This is my first time visiting Ladakh, am somewhat familiar with the landscapes, nature and the people which is not very different from Tibet, which I visited earlier in my life.
We will therefore also visit the familiar places , on this visit and we start in Leh and the Leh valley, the trip continues to Alchi monastery, then Lamayuru , Sumour, Nubra, Pangong and other famous lakes, drive over high mountain passes, to end in Leh again. What stands out in this kind of country is the silence and vastness, the friendly people, probably in my experience the most friendly and quiet, shy people I have ever met. I won’t go into further detail here in this blog story, that will be for later, you have to make do with the images attached for now, they speak for themselves and give a little idea of what we experienced on this trip.
