Over 2000 Km by road, in around 10 days. Stunning landscapes, wonderful people. That sums up our Ladakh trip. But how did it actually work? How did we make it happen? Read on to find out! Leh, the capital of Ladakh , is accessible by air and road. Flying into Leh is the easiest, and time-saving option, while the road is the time consuming one, but with the added advantage of driving past some of the most beautiful landscapes in our country.

I have been to Goa thrice, and feel I have barely scratched the surface. There is so much more I want to explore. Wonder when I will next get the opportunity.
For now, I am settling for going through my piles of photos, re-living the memories, and sharing them with you.
