Our Drivers We completed the journey between Manali and Srinagar in four different cars with four different drivers. From Manali to Keylong, we were with Namgyal. He was stylish, outgoing, god-fearing, and a safe driver. But very low on confidence. Sitting next to him through the drive, particularly at Rohtang, didn’t feel too great.

I came back from Ladakh last Sunday. And I am still trying to figure how to put together an account of what I experienced. It really was beyond words. It was even beyond photographs.

Quite a few people asked me how I figured this place out. I do know that my reference point was the trip that Prashant, Subhadip, and others made a few years ago, but I cannot seem to recall when I decided that I want to do it. The idea of doing the trek had not … Continue reading And So I Went!
