Ladakh, The Land of Passes

Here are a few photos of Ladakh... Though the photographs are not mine, I couldn't resist posting them! All photos were taken by a friend during their family trip to Ladakh.

Ladakh is one of the most beautiful places in North India. It has this raw beauty of unexplored environment, a rich cultural heritage on its own... The snow clad desert is mesmerizing. It is one of the best place for camping, trekking and is a favorite destination for adventure junkies, mountaineers and amateur climbers. You get to see a whole lot of terrains in Ladakh. It is surrounded by mountain ranges namely the Kunlun Mountains, The Himalayas etc.

Words are not enough to explain the beauty of this place, let the pictures do the talking...

An overview from the plane

View of Leh.

On the way to The Magnetic Hill. Take a car, put it in neutral and let it climb up the hill on it's own!

Zanskar Valley

Back in The Olden Days , The King punished evildoers with the task of carving "Mantras" into the stones...

This somewhat looks like the face of the moon, craters look alike as you can see..

Pangong Tso ( Pangong Lake ) .It is situated at an altitude of 14000ft above the sea level. One of the most beautiful lakes in India. Many of you must have seen this in the movie "The Three Idiots "

I'm on Top of The World!!

Do u always request for a window seat everytime you're travelling by a plane?? I do! Even if I don't, I shift my seat somehow 'cause I love the view from above... Here are some of the photographs that I took from the plane.
If you ever travel from Delhi to Guwahati, and if ur on the right side of the plane, you'll see the Majestic Himalayas snow capped... And if you're travelling in the evening, you might be lucky to see the horizon, so beautiful after the sunset, all red! It's breathtaking I tell ya. You should never ever shut the window if it's not the strong rising sun that's peeping in! :)

Can you see the snow capped Himalayas?? Majestic as always...

A more closer look of The Himalayas...

I'm on top of the skylines I used to love :)

This is actually before landing in Delhi... The speed of the plane is faster than my camera so the city lights became like this :)

Just before Sunset...

A few minutes later..

Aerial view of a place I don't know... Took this picture during my Aizawl - Guwahati Flight...

All We See Is Strange Clouds...

So fascinated by Beautiful Skylines, even if it's just a clear blue sky... It's very rare to see a beautiful skyline in Delhi so whenever I'm home I never miss an opportunity to capture these amazing skylines... Here's some of the skylines I took by the end of last year.
