A post after a long time. It has been NH1 since a long time and continuing still. Kashmir was a green delight but the pics I am posting are mostly from Ladakh :)
Struggling my way through zojila's snow storms and thereafter slipping on some occasions on the slippery icy roads, I reached heaven.
But to reach such a wonder, there was a lot of suffering which later was compensated :)
With my half cut gloves, I had to improvize to protect my fingers in the biting cold. The extra socks helped and polythene over them also made them waterproof and windproof but the very first slip had the polythene gone. Determined to cross the avalanche prone area before the Sun got furious, I decided to walk-jog down the stretch. But it was still slippery. The army had stopped the remaining traffic to Drass that day and I was probably the only person to reach Drass :D

ReplyDeletei hope you do post a little about your travel gear.
ReplyDeletelove what you are doing.
Apologies for this late reply:
DeleteYa I would post something soon.
It was just a jersey (half sleve) and 2 cycling shorts I had. I got an extra covering of tracksuit for Ladakh and I find it a bit surprising now that it sufficed :)
The gloves I bought at Leh were a warm luxury!
Shoes: ill suited woodland, but then I was to trek as well.
All this and more in posts coming up
update needed!!!
