... into the heart of the Zanskar. The<br>track pursues the river most of the way. <br><br>Ripchar Valley Trek<br> This trek begins at Lamayuru and traverses up Ripchar valley with its tiny villages, nomadic set-ups and meadows where one gets to see diversity in flowers from end of July to end of August and birds too. We cross high passes that offer brilliant panoramas of the Karakorams and the Zanskar ...

... juba oma lõkete ja tossavate tõrvapadade ümber nagu tondid.<br>Sani kloostris veel magatakse. Juht laiutab käsi ja sõidame edasi. Pilved on algul kollased, siis lillad, mägedel on päikesekillud. Mõned koopaoravad on tulnud vaatama, kuidas me läbi värske hommikuvalgusemaastiku Kargili poole hüpleme. Paljud kohad tulevad tuttavad ette, näiteks suur must kuubikujuline kivi keset jõge. Nagu Kaaba kivi. Iga mägi on endiselt kui geoloogiatunni n ...

... väiksemaks, tassivad neid riideräbalaga või istuvad niisama, valged hambad mustas näos välkumas. Mõni magab tuimalt tolmus. Sõit kulgeb piki jõekallast. Nagu möödaminnes ületame Fatu La, 4147 m. Istuksin nagu sütel kui ei teaks, et mõne aja pärast saab rahulikult jala mööda mägesid kulgeda ja teha niipalju fotostoppe kui pähe tuleb. Aknast möödavuhisevat maastikku vaadata ei ole ikka nii tore kui ise selles vedeleda.<br>Teeme ...

... are around 3 to 4 feet tall. Janpal says he is taller than that. We're not sure which gnomes Bapuji saw, but we didn't see the same ones. We are getting our sea legs today. Mommy learned that we can take a short (3 hour) car ride to the highest motorable mountain pass in the world... 18,000ft she thinks is what Mr. Dorjee (our host) said. Mr. Dorjee is arranging for the appropriate permissions to do this. There is ...

Id met an English guy and 3 other Ozzy guys in Leh who were also on bikes and had planned to go to Srinagar but due to some recent trouble in Kashmir and some sort of shooting in Srinagar they had decided to turn back and go back the way they had came. They did not really want to do this as they were only here for a month, just to do this trip on the bikes they hired. I managed to convince two out of the 3 to come and in the end they decided to come ...

My experience in mountaineering has been limited to half a dozen or so 14ers in Colorado (peaks over 14,000ft). So, it was out of sheer naivety and ignorance that often accompanies a newcomer to any sport that I set out to tackle Stok Kangri, at 20,172ft in the heart of the Himalayan mountain range. I was susceptible to the impression that mental and physical strength and determination would suffice. However, many important lessons in ...

In my 26 years of life, I have had the good fortune of traversing the lands of East Africa, Europe, Latin America, Southeast Asia, Australia, New Zealand, the South Pacific, and the Indian subcontinent. I relay these facts not out of arrogance, but merely to qualify my experience in the world. I must say that of all the places I have visited thus far, the Kashmir region of N. India is the must spectacular landscape I've set my eyes upon.... In ...

ZE SRINAGARU DO LEHU Ne&#269;ekali jsme luxus. P&#345;epravujeme se autobusem SUPER DELUX. Jedinným rozdílem mezi Super Delux a Semi Delux bylo, ze se dalo hlavou op&#345;ít o sedadlo a to p&#345;i desetihodinové cest&#283; p&#345;ijde vhod. Jinak indická klasika: spinavá zem, zamast&#283;ná okna, no do Super Deluxu daleko. My s tím ale po&#269;ítali, tak nás to ani nep&#345;ekvapilo. Ze Srinagaru mí&#345;íme p&#345;es Sonamarg, kde by &#269;lov&#283;k &#345;ekl 'Svýcarské Alpy' a p ...

2 Giugno - La strada tra le montagne. Il Ladakh è una provincia leggermente montuosa: la sua capitale, Leh, in uno dei punti bassi, è a 3500 metri sul livello del mare. Solo un aereoporto e tre strade la collegano al resto del mondo. Una di queste strade è quella che ci accingevamo a percorrere da Srinagar: due giorni di viaggio per circa 400 chilometri, con un passo oltre i 4000 metri. Seduti nel nostro autobus 'super-deluxe' eravamo eccitati: la strada è descritta da tutti come ...

... in the temple. I especially loved the women's hats. We climbed up to admire the view and watch the workers building a huge Buddha. Then we saw the preparation for a big lunch downstairs. So we stuck around and got invited. The women and young monks were served last. I was told to line up with the men, and didn't want to, but they forced me. Later a man lined up with the women and was taken ahead of them! Yummy lunch, but we ...
