TAG INDIA team recently completed an exotic journey from Manali to Leh and beyond. This is one of the remotest corner of India and a breathtaking one too. Landscape is very similar to Utah and Colorado in US. We covered 3 of the highest motorable passes in the world (max at 18320 feet above sea level where one cannot even breathe properly). Touched China, Tibet and Pakistan border during our camps and treks. Check out the first 2 photos which are panoramic views of Tsokar lake (one of the highest lakes in the world) and a mountain range on the 42KM plateau at 15000 feet. See photo links below:Day 1-2 Photos
Day 3-4 Photos
The whole trip was a very exotic and strange one. We came across many strange phenomenon like the IPOD death zone (where all electronic items just die - including my SLR digital camera and I had to buy a make shift point and shoot camera in leh) , magentic road (where all vehicles drive up a 20 degree angle on their own) , light blobs at Shanti Stupa (strange lights that only appear in camera shots), army presence in possibly every corner of the place, utmost friendly people, chance encounter with Korean Socialist, Austrian traveller, Delhi fellow philosphers discussing on deep matters such as purpose of religion, life, gods, etc and finally stories of NASA doing research on alien spacecrafts in Spiti valley and so on. It is a journey we will remember for a life time! We hope to return next year and explore more remote corners of our nation.
Need a lot of time to upload all the photos. :) More to come in few days, so keep on the look out.
