Dear friends,

 

After having worked on a pretty demanding and time-consuming project over the last 2 months (leaving me no time for the May dispatch…), we were glad to take a plane and fly during almost three hours Northwards to Leh, the capital of Ladakh, a region in the Jamu & Kashmir state.

 

LADAKH WAS POLITICALLY CLOSED UNTIL 1974 AND IS PHYSICALLY “CUT OFF” FROM THE REST OF INDIA

 

 

LANDSCAPES THERE JUST TAKE YOUR BREATH AWAY, ESPECIALLY WHILE TREKKING AT 5240 m OVER SEA LEVEL

 

 

 

Back in Leh, we just enjoyed the pleasant weather and spent two last relaxing days reading books and eating “momos” (kind of Chinese ravioli). But every good thing has an end (no, I am not that pretentious to mention the quality of this dispatch) and we had to fly back to a rainy Mumbai, where the monsoon had already started.
