With riding season fast approaching to an end here in the mountains, I decided to visit Zanskar Valley.
I decided to leave on 20th September, 2018 from Jammu, spend a week or so in the valley, photograph the place and simply enjoy the ride.
I like to go off-season as the places are usually less crowded and in especially autumn, you get a colourful foliage all around
It all went according to plan till I reached Rangdum. Then the weather Gods simply didn't want me to go further and I had to bow down to their will.
It snowed
hard for over 24 hrs, the road was closed and I had to return back.
Trip dates - 20th September to 27th September, 2018
Trip route - Jammu-Anantnag-Kargil-Rangdum and back
Drass
Hunderman Village, Kargil
The village was abondoned around 1971 war and is now a museum
Colourful Suru Valley
Enroute Rangdum
A pananormic view
This is what 24hrs of snow storm leaves behind
