Ladakh

I want to go Khardungla pass. what is best time to go there??

Well i was in leh during the summers of ‘06. Getting a bike on rent is pretty easy. I was alone and wanted to goto pangong lake alone on bike though localities never like this idea.
But as i was very fascinated by the idea of “I sudn’t be alive” a series running on discovery channel. So i rented a bike and started my journey during noon and the only thing i was wishing is breaking down of bike. Well, and my bike didn’t disappointed me and it started showing probs with the gear box half way wen i reach at the top. At that point i can cm back easily but i opted for the hard way and kept going reached my destination by the evening i.e. paggong lake. The place is like heaven, i spend my night with the army men there though they were not allowed to have civilians for the night stay but i smhow b able convince them as my bike is in no mood for going back. So i was one of the very few tourists who spent their night at pangong place. Next day, i stated draging my bike back to leh city and it was very tiring thing to do but it was the very thing i was wishing for so no complains.

Enjoyed my visit there, i wish i also had got a flat tire too as there is no mechanics.

To me its the best place i ever been too.

Well, in 2004, I stayed in Leh city and visited all the places around it for 3 months. And the sum is that I’m again willing to go there once again..

This is a wonderful place on the planet.. If you love mountains, Ladakh is a place you should not miss to visit.

I’ll be visiting Ladakh again in July or August 2007 and of course, will be happy to get a nice travel companion.

A PLACE TO LIVE IN

My interest in going to Ladakh came from seeing the documentary film Ancient Futures: Learning from Ladakh. It shows about how this traditional Buddhist culture changed in a very short time once the the military roads were opened for public use and tourists began coming to the area. If you can’t see the film, I highly recommend the book for anyone interested on how traditional sustainable cultures are impacted by modern development and global society.

Ladakh is beautiful! The people are lovely! Im going back to live there next year!

So excited, I’m going to the Himalayas for 4 weeks in august with a group from school. we’re raising money for a school in Nepal, and trekking for 3 weeks. Also do a bit of sightseeing. Should be so good!

Its heaven on earth .. So serene .. cant wait to go there again ..

Ive wanted to do this for as long as I can remember. Almost made it once a couple of years back. It’s an earthly treasure.

Really love the landscape. Makes you feel that you are on top of the world.
