If this is the first time you’ve visited my Ladakh Odyssey series, please first start with Set 1.
Just a few days had passed, and Ladakh had become a way of life. You come to expect that whichever direction you look at, you’re going to see something pleasing: rolling mountains, lazy rivers, glaciers in the distance and a haze-free atmosphere.
And then I have to give credit where it’s due: the people and their culture is great too. The people in Leh seem geared to take care of it’s tourist inflow: Leh’s market area is full of handicrafts, shops offering to arrange treks, adventure gear on hire and pretty restaurants. However, none of this is in-your-face; the area never gets too crowded, and it all co-exists beautifully with the Buddhist way of life.
After we had just passed Rohtang Pass, I came accross this: a Kasturi. It’s unfortunate for what it stands for, do read more about it when you go through Set 4-Album.
Thus wraps up one of the most memorable times I’ve had, where for the first time I left home on trip by myself, saw snow, crossed 18k feet in altitude, got a 2 inch long cut, scraped on my left leg (twice) and rescued my fellow travellers from a 7 foot long snake. Phew!
