I have been reading your travelogue for last 3 hours and I went back twice to admire all the pictures. This is super stuff man, and as many people have already mentioned, I could really "feel" the chill in all the snow pics.

This gives a lot of inspiration to lesser mortals like me to gather courage and do a similar trip.

Thanks for sharing!

I agree with Jaggu, once TSK starts one of his travelogues, I check to see if they are over and then pick a time when I have a few hours to read and relish them and read them at one go. Right now, I am breathless. TSK's trips never cease to leave me open mouthed in awe and wonder. I first saw photographs of Zanskar in 1980 or thereabouts and they left me cold. Other pictures of Ladakh or other high mountains did not move me and I never felt a tug, a hankering or wish to visit. The landscapes seemed monotonous, a dull brown with splashes of white etc. My reaction to those pictures was - "Ok, it is a desert, maybe a cold one, but still a desert". (I am not a desert person, more a beach bum).

One person, TSK, changed that forever. Courtesy his travelogues, in which TSK literally becomes one with the mountains and lucidly brings out their immense beauty through words and pictures - I now realise that I must, god willing, tour these awesome places sometime in this life. Of course, being the 'water person' I am, I found the lakes, streams and rivers the most beautiful - can't change a leopard's spots.

Cheers TSK,

Thanks for your comments everyone. I am a water person too, and lakes and rivers never cease to fascinate me!

And yes, Leh is one place which you should do atleast once in a lifetime! Ideally many times more!

Me: I had been on a trip this diwali.
Friend (confused): What, come again?
Me: I had been on a trip this diwali.
Friend: No way man, we hanged out together remember?
Me: Yes, we did. Still, I had been on a trip. A trip to the mountains, started from Delhi.
Friend: (Looking more confused than ever) Have you lost it? you drunk or what? You were with MEEE.
Me: Will show you the pics morrow.
( I send him the link of this post.)
Next day, my friend to another of our friend, "We had been to the mountains this diwali"
Another Friend : What?!!
And the story continues..

Revisited just for fun after your latest short trip log.....boy you made me waste half a day at office again!!

The original system of not holding threads to assembly line was so much more fun and interactive.
