Ladakh (Leh) Experience: Wonderfull experience of the hills and snow. The first good sight was from the window seat of the plane in the last 5-10 mins of descent at Leh when the plane passes through the mountain pass with hills on either sides. Then is the early morning view from the tarmac with snow covered mountains on one side and the airport terminus on other side. The barren landscape while traveling on the road is a surprise with trees and plantations only on the riverside. Most of the hills are either rockface in varies hues or are covered with snow. The two high altitude mountain passes we visited, Khardungla and Changla were a totally different out of the world experience. Though the monasteries and Nubra valley were a little disappointing. The best part was the night stay at Pangong lake in the tents with light snowfall in the month of May and the beautiful crystal clear waters of the lake, the surrounding hills and the sunrise all to enjoyed from the tents.

Food, sight-seeing and shopping: Food is average with all the varieties available, from Punjabi to South Indian dishes. Chinese food is the specialty. Shopping is nothing more than Thangkas. The much touted apricots were best available along the highway rather than in Leh city market. Sight seeing - Not to miss Pangong Lake, One of the three high altitude mountain passes, the Uleytopko campsite along the banks of Indus river.

Activities & things to do: River rafting is one activity which I didn't try.
