A morning in Ladakh


We were doing the monastery circuit on the outskirts of Leh and the views of the mountains are unparalleled.There is beauty in the barrenness , a sense of timelessness about them.

This looks totally dry and barren. Is this just a dry season or is it always so dusty?

Thanks everyone for your appreciation
as for the queries ...

@Tulsa Gentleman - This is the landscape of Ladakh. Its a cold desert and this is the view in summer. Home to the Himalayas, there is very less oxygen here as you climb further uphill..

@ Patricia - No , but can connect with a travel agent and they will organise transport..you can share vehicles with other tourists or have your own vehicle organised

@Iam yuva - I spent about 10 days there..depends on where you are asking from..and why would you like to use this picture ?
