    Same sentiments here. Only in India can you find such diversity and such unity. Also hats off to Indian Army who keep this area absolutely safe.

                You are welcome. Only Aman would have entered to see this beautiful guest house. I would have turned back at the entrance stable itself.

                  Yes, I took the chance because I had enough protection if the cow wished to attack me!

                    You had ample frontal protection but no back protection. Did you check whether it was a bull or cow before entering? Muhahahahaha

                    • Yes it was a cow, that to a small one. Infact she saw me and ran inside her shelter, that gave me the courage to walk past her!

                      • Great log Vishwas! Very nice photos.

                        You realize that till now there are zillion of logs about Leh trips done in all sorts of conditions. After each log, there remains very few that is unsaid about the place. It is only the feeling and vision of the tourer that is different in each log. In your log, I loved this line most:

                        I feel touring should be connecting and humbling, and not filling your head with false pride. Your blog is honest and humble, and that's why it gets my full vote

                        Please continue the story.

                          Absolutely the same sentiments here. That was the reason for my title for the day.

                          Thanks for the comment. When are you leaving for Leh?
