Last week, I wrote about a family wedding I attended. Immediately after the wedding, we embarked on our trip to Ladakh. Carved out of Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh is the newest Union Territory of India and a fastest growing tourist destination. The flight from New Delhi took only an hour and half to get to Leh (the capital of Ladakh). As my husband and I got off the plane, two surprises were waiting for us. One, it was as hot in Leh as it was in Delhi (the temperature was 25 degrees Celsius but it felt like 35 degrees because of the clear atmosphere. Two, Leh was as baren and sandy as a desert.
Some spectacular buildings and a couple of photos where I was thinking, if those buses moved a few centimetres closer they would be in the river and the other one was of you and your husband standing in front of the rapids, I gather you were at a reasonable height above them, they just look like they stop lol...
Hi Neera, I'm enjoying your travel writing. I enjoy your usual newsletter, but since you are on holiday I'm happy to hear about it. These are places I'll probably never get to so it's great to enjoy them through your eyes.
What a fun post! Thank you for bringing us along on your travels! I enjoy reading travel writing and reading someone's perspective on the food, customs, scenery and any conversation someone hears along the way - it can feel like I'm traveling with them. I especially like travel writing that includes photos and sketches of things seen. So thank you! Happy travels!!
Thanks for letting me know Melanie. Yes these are bit off-track places. Anyway we can’t see all the places in this life time.
Thank you for taking the time to let me know that you are enthralled travel issues of the newsletter. I shall continue.
