The Land of Passes...Ladakh!

Ive been in Ladakh for last two years....never thought ill get to see snow and landscapes like these.... explore is the word, and im grateful i got a chance to visit and learn from its people and the land...

Laddakh the land of passes ( la means pass and ddakh land in laddakhi) has given me enchanting views, chill blains ( a cold injury), lessons on snow survival by locals, long waits on snow clad roads, heart in the mouth experiences of almost getting buried in crevasses, chang ( the local liquor ), yak meat, spottted wildlife - murmots ( a big rodent), kyangs ( wild asses), himalayan pigeons, snow leopard cubs...fishes, rivers- indus, nubra , shyok.....

above all peace...i still breathe the silence and pure air.....
