Kargil to Lamayuru ( Via Panikhar -Zanashkar)
Tiger Hills - The scene of famous Tiger hill battle - Tololing hill is just opposite
Another View of Sonmarg
Enroute to Zoji La
Treacherous road to Zoji La
All in a days work
Zoji La
Zoji La in all its splendor
Photography session in Drass - Capturing Tiger Hill
Drass village - prominent battlefield during Kargil war
Vibrant children on their way to their teacher's wedding
Ashok taking a well deserved rest after a tough climb
Reminds me of Tintin in Tibet
Drass Village - At 3230m ASL is the Second coldest inhabited region in the world
On route to Kargil
Towards Panikhar (Zanskar district ) One of the most isolated regions in world
Nearing Panikhar
Trip Mates - Ashok , Santhosh and Ajay
Tangloe - Base camp of Mt. Nun Kun
At the foothills of Mt. Nun Kun
Majestic Nun Kun - someday I'll be back to climb her ( as long as I get a 3 month leave)
Mountain Stream near Tangloe
Perspective on how really big the stream is
Oasis in desert - one of the most beautiful and peaceful places I have ever seen.
Back on road to Leh
Mulbek - Famous for ancient rock carving of Matriya Buddha ( Future Buddha )
National Highway 1 D
Rock caves - didn't have time to investigate
It was big decision to attempt Leh from Mulbek - with darkness fast approaching and Fotu pass to cross
Caught in hailstorm on top of Fatu La (pass) 13,480 ft ASL
Definitely not a pleasant feeling getting caught in a bad hailstorm at night with only one way to go - Down
Long way to safety
