Undiscovered India

Wandering in the IMMENSENESS with horses and horizon And sometimes the mountainscape is near enough to touch... This is the view of Lion Pass

We had enough of space in the mountains. But when it comes to Gorges, Ladakh has ample amount of gorges that will really squeeze you out. It is believed to have some of the tightest of gorges. You often get the feeling it's too tight for you to pass thru if you are a bit on the heavier side (fat) But you really can make it. It' not easy but then, it's not tough. Here is a pic that i found.

Imagine having a wide open land just in front of you. Just plain and green. You run your eyes all along the levelled ground and woaaa we have a huge wall. White wall. A mountain covered with snow. With picturesque scenery. And Ladakh is full of such beautiful sceneries and such awesome surprises. You will really amazed by it's natural beauty. Be careful of other shocking surprises though. You will find some wil asses too. And i must say, don't stand behind them! I repeat, don't stand behind them. Coz when they kick, it hurts really BAD.....Ouchhh! Uh..By the way, this place is known as Kyang Pass. a famous pass in Ladakh. The word Kyang is somewhat related to wild asses. Don't remember exactly what it meant. Enjoy the pic.

What all can you have here? ~Your very own football ground with no boundaries, no limitation, no rules ;) ~ A perfect place for honeymoon. Or a second honeymoon. Or a third :D ~A perfect view of landscape if you are a painter or a photographer. ~ All the fun. All the privacy This is one thing that will make you crazy for Ladakh. I am not joking. ;) Better check out the image

We recently talked about open spaces here in Ladakh. Here is yet another example of an open space, but with a difference. It's huge, it's calm, lot of peace. I think that's the best ingredients for a place where you can relax your mind, enjoy the peace and probably meditate even. I am sure you had like to be the guy sitting there in this picture. What a lovely place to be in :)

There is enough of travelling places in here But wherewill one stay??? It's not easy staying in Ladakh on cold snowy mountain So a base camp has been setup on a lower side of the hill. The place is called Tilad Do, the camp is just in the foot of two big mountains, actually a valley and it does receive a bit of sunlight. Good place to be in when you are not moving. Here is what Tilad Do looks like.

Ahh...Said that so early. You thought the walk was easy and enjoyable..Didn't you? Well wanna be in snow with some gushing cold...essst water flowing by? Had it been Dubai, it would have been cool. But not here in Ladakh. This is the North Face catalogue shot..

It's snowing. But no time for Christmas. This is not december or winter season. You can expect snowfalls on the higher ranges anytime of the year. Frankly, i enjoy walking on the snow. But who knew it would take so long to reach a destination in this cold weather on this snowy snowy mountain. However the picture looked great :)

It's such a beatiful feeling to stand at such a beautiful place and just keep admiring. After having a look at these Zanskar range, one would wonder, what better can a paradise be. The texture and colors of these mountains are so beautiful. So soothing to your eyes. I wish i could find a low cost airlines at that time. I could have seen everything there is of this amazing and ever so beautiful range. I'll tell you what. This is a must visit place. Don't miss it. Don't ...;)

Any idea why it called wild. If U Still haven't got those spooky goosebumps then click ion the pic and watch it full size Imagine where it starts from and where it ends! Fantasti Trail. Still No Goosebumps? Well plan a vacation to this place then. Andtry standing on the edge of the trail.

A celebration of space In Ladakh the sense of space is overwhelming. This is a small appreciation of that freedom. But nothing beats the real thing...

The only mode of transportation available are horses or as you call them in India: Kacharr Or else you go on foot. Would be tiresome

Ladakh is a land like no other. Bounded by two of the world's mightiest mountain ranges, the Great Himalaya and the Karakoram, it lies athwart two other, the Ladakh range and the Zanskar range. In geological terms, this is a young land, formed only a few million years ago by the buckling and folding of the earth's crust as the Indian sub-continent pushed with irresistible force against the immovable mass of Asia. Its basic contours, uplifted by these unimaginable tectonic movements, have been modified over the millennia by the opposite process of erosion, sculpted into the form we see today by wind and water. Yes, water! Today, a high -altitude desert, sheltered from the rain-bearing clouds of the Indian monsoon by the barrier of the Great Himalaya, Ladakh was once covered by an extensive lake system, the vestiges of which still exist on its south -east plateaux of Rupshu and Chushul - in drainage basins with evocative names like Tso-moriri, Tsokar, and grandest of all, Pangong
