Reached Diskit early, before the crowds. The climb to the Lord Maitreya statue serene - the view over Nubra, with the Shyok cutting through the dunes, is something else altogether.
Mehrangarh Fort is a fascinating architectural marvel. Built on the top of a hill, its towering presence leaves you in awe of the capabilities of the architects and engineers of the time.
Sharing few photos from my last year's visit.
There is beauty in every direction of Ladakh. When you reach Sani Lake in Padum, kindly take a small break and sit on the many benches around the lake and submit yourself to the serenity and simplicity of the location.
There is a calm and meditative effect in the breeze that passes you by, while you smile and admire the moment.
Recently when I was in Udaipur, I was in awe of the beauty of the place and how much the city had changed from my last visit here.
Took this pic of the view from the fort.
It has become a yearly ritual for me to visit Ladakh after the monsoon has eased a bit and the roads are back to being welcoming.
India is blessed with many such beautiful gems.
Sharing some glimpses from my last year's trip.
Hello fellow travellers!
I am planning a solo trip to Ladakh in the month of September and would take a pit stop for a few days at Manali.
Kindly advice the places I can visit while I am there and also is it safe to assume that the monsoon related landslides will be over by that time?
I am planning a solo road trip to Ladakh in the month of September.
I will start from Delhi in the first week of September and plan to be on the road for around 20 days.
What word of advice would you folks like to share with me?
Also, would you recommend that I enter Leh from Zanskar side or the traditional Manali Leh highway side?
