Truly heaven on earth! This is probably one of the hardest
travel posts to write, words really are hard to describe this place which has
such contrasting and breathtaking landscapes. Be it tall mountains, vast plain
lands, wide lakes or serene views, this place has it all.
I have to start by saying- we all flew in from all over the
world to Delhi to take this one week family re-union and a trip. My parents,
the four of us, my brother's family all 9 of us spent a week in Leh &
Laddakh and definitely made memories of a life time.
We were guests of the Indian Army, a family friend is a
Colonel of the Indian Army stationed in Leh & Laddakh. Thanks to him and
his entire team, we had a great trip and above all found a respect for the Army
which we as civilians really didn’t think about. A separate post on this ishere. Thank You Indian Army!!

follow slowly but surely!!! Stay Tuned
