Leh

got there on the top of a sihk driven petrol lorry in a pre- winter convoy to the town. rolled vehicles all the way along the worst road i’ve ever been on – other than the Whistler/Vancouver highway in 1975.

after coming back down i was one of the last tourists in kashmir before they closed it. long time ago.

Located in the Himalayas, the northermost region of India – cold desert – known for its ancient monastries (gompas) ... the oldest one that I visited was ~1000 AD.
