Re: Ladakh - Solo
Lovely photographs Gaurang, when were you there? Asking because it looks kind of dry and my friend's trip got literally washed out due to all the rain and snow.

Re: Ladakh - Solo
Thanks guys!
Yogesh - I Started from Manali on August 17th and was back in Manali on the 29th.
But yeah you're right. I got the rains in Morey plains and on Tanglang la there was a small hail storm. On the way back on T'La I saw icicles by the road.
I came back to Mandi and then started off for Spiti (Chandartal). But had to spend a night in Manali and come back because it was constantly raining. By the time I reached Chandigarh I read in the papers that people were stuck on Rohtang because of 3 feet of snow! So I guess I made it back just in the nick of time.

Inder - Yeah I think I had one bag too many. Should've unloaded some stuff in Mandi (my hometown). But it wasn't really a problem, except for when loading and unloading.

Thanks for the comments guys.

Re: Ladakh - Solo
BTW I'm making a 'mock'umentary of sorts. Just amateur stuff.
You can see the trailer here -

Re: Ladakh - Solo
Some great shots there, Gaurang!
Waiting for the main adventure!

The 'rocumentary' will be a nice bonus that will help to 'sell' the trip!
