Squeezing in time in between my official travel to Baroda and Bangalore, I finally managed to process and load a decent number of photos from our Ladakh trip to this site. I do hope that these photographs are able to do justice to the beauty of the Ladakhi landscapes and people, & that visitors to this site like them. I am still recovering from the trip - have never seen such vast landscapes ever before. While we flew down to Leh this time, one of my dreams is to some day to the Manali - Leh drive, reputedly one of the most scenic drives in India.  In any case, my appetite for Ladakh has been whetted by this trip, and I hope to visit this beautiful region again sometime.
My friend Joydeep, who has a way with words,  has written an evocative travellogue about our trip, & I hope to load that essay on this site sometime soon.
