Mist over Mud

This is Mud, (pronounced mood) it is in the Pin valley which is an offshoot of the Spiti valley. Unfortunately for the day I was there it was cloudy and rainy all day, I guess thats why it is a bit greener than Spiti. I stayed in a guesthouse that only seemed to [...]

Back to pretty rural landscapes. These houses seem very similar to those found in Ladakh and subsequently in Tibet (so I have been told). They are designed to keep any heat inside the house during the extreme winters and have very thick walls and small windows. On the other hand they offer [...]

This is about 5km walk back towards Leh, just before you get to the palace you come across a field of ruined white stupas scattered around a sandy landscape.

Mountain Scenery

In contrast this is some of the many snowcapped mountain ranges that is visible from Leh town. It seemed that every direction you look there is a snowy mountain looking back at you. From my bedroom window in the Dorje guest hose I could see two sets out of one window and one [...]

This wild west landscape contrasted by bright green farmland continued for many miles coming from the green pasture land of the Kashmir valley and traveling to the dry desert like landscape of Ladakh. I traveled again with the South African girls, Alison and Genevieve for 18 hours (7am till just gone midnight) in a [...]

This is a lovely little town in the foothills of the Himalaya. Chamba itself is less than 1000m elevation so it was relatively hot there a month ago when this photo was taken. This was the first stop in the journey towards Leh with the South African girls who I traveled with [...]
