It takes my maximal determination to get up at 6:30 and take a ride to the gompa. I get there by time - seven - and then it proved that the morning pray is at 8! Well, at least I have sometime to take pictures of the local dawn and the young monks coming down from the monastery to the praying hall. But first they prepare some sort of breakfast - a milk tea with butter and with some sort of powder. It's cold in the morning, I wear all the clothes I found, and I hardly understand how do the ...

Taking a ride to Diskit. Initially wanted to take off at 7, but of course with all the fueling, etc I was on the road only at 10. On the way I made a small accident - hit a female donkey which was running away like there is no tomorrow from a mating male. Of course I have also mistaken with the road, and had to take a shortcut to the proper way. At the beginning it all looked very nice - the road was in a very good condition, the riding was pleasant. 
But as I went higher and ...

... a chance to make a lunch break at the pass - there was almost no wind. 
Going down is often not less difficult then going up. And here it was the case. The path was even more snow-covered and it felt pretty slippery. It felt much more comfortable when I descended to 4 km — somehow here the life seems to be easier. I had the bus stop marked on the GPS (I already visited there on a scooter that day) and it was pretty clear that I'm going to be late for the bus. I bothered ...

... qui pous a si chaleureusement hébergé. Nous buvons un thé ensemble et je constate, que la tenue des militaires est redevenue aussi relax que le premier soir quand nous avions débarqués en quête d&#8217;un abri où dormir. Notons que le matin après notre nuit dans la White House, les militaires se sont fait tout beaux. Les chaussures cirées, les tenues militaires complètes, le visage rasé et surtout, LE BONNET MILITAIRE. Je garde en tête l&#8217;image du 2ème ...

Öösel on palav. Õnneks ei andnud ma järele soovitusele, lisaks magamiskotile veel ka kaks tekki peale võtta.<br>Hommikusöögiks lõputus koguses khambirit - Ladakhi leiba. Moosiga.<br>Rahakotti on paraku jäänud ainult viiesajased, seega arvestan juba õhtul võimalusega, et tagasi pererahval anda ei ole. Seetõttu olen ka rõõmsalt nõus, kui pakutakse kaasa pack lunchi. Siis on ikka nagu lõuna ka. Pakilõunaks saan endale ise veel moosi khambiri peale määrida. Peremees m ...

... we let the Frechies go on ahead with their guide because we knew that all we had left to do was cross our last pass (how hard could it be?) and then we would be in YangTang...maybe two more hours to go. We sat by the river, cooled our feet and snacked. Lisa had had a tough time crossing the rocky river valley and Krista found when she stood up to go she was quite dizzy and confused. We managed to ...

... crag, at the bottom of which is the derelict palace (Pic 3), which is now been renovated. And at the top of the crag is the Namgyal Gompa (3707m) (Pic 19) and the Leh fort (Pic 18). Below the palace is the old town which resembles something out of biblical times with narrow winding alley ways and houses made of mud bricks. The people are very friendly and the place itself feels safe, despite a heavy military presence due to it been ...
