When we got Leh’d
“Jana tha Japan pohoch gaye Chin”! This is the only song that keeps coming back to my mind. When i think about my trip to Leh. Yes it really happened the way i wrote the first line. Our tickets were booked for our trip to Uttarakhand, but then when i was on a trip and my Husband was sitting back and studying for his upcoming examination. He just thought of scrolling for some flight rates I don’t know why! But then being with him for two a half years now, I have learned he is more enthusiastic about travelling than I am. And I am really amazed to found him. So there he was scrolling and he just called me “I am getting good rates for flights from Delhi to Srinagar, How about going to Leh?” And there I was sitting near the back waters and enjoying the time of my life with the besties and there was this awesome smile on my face and all I could say was “What about the tickets to Uttarakhand that we have already booked?” “Don’t worry about them, Leh has been your dream destination, we are getting good rates, let fly there instead” and I was more than ready to go to Leh. I mean who wouldn’t! So this is how Jana tha Japan pohoch gaye Chin, samaj gaye na!
It was so wonderful Journey, it’s the story of 2015 and I still remember and always end up thinking and writing about it. And as said unplanned plans work better. They actually did!
The Journey from Srinagar to Leh via Kargil was the best of all. It was the journey of life where the destination really didn’t matter. This is how we ended up seven days in the beautiful dessert. It is just not a beautiful place but the people are more beautiful. People are happier than anywhere else even if they earn only for four months out of twelve. Living in this extreme condition they still have best smiles as their attire.
Though I was already in love with this place but then I kept falling in love with this place again and yet again. Going to Pangong lake was aging the second best thing that happen after just reaching Leh It was really beautiful heaven on earth. I just couldn’t stop looking at the lake. Sitting by the lake with my love was real time I have had spent with him. The lake was just all the shades of Blue and the brightest water that I have ever seen. I could just sit there and admire the beauty and couldn’t thank enough to my love for bringing me to this amazing place.
Now that was yet not the end of the beautiful journey while we passed the highest motorable pass. The Khardung-La pass. I had actually seen all types of weather in just span of 2 hours. It was sunny while we left for Nubra valley and just then it started raining while it was not enough that it started hail storming and then snow> Yes! Trust me everything in just 2 hours and the there was a snow storm. Though we had to come back but it was just the best thing to experience. It took real shit out of us seeing the snow storm but then this is was the beautiful desert is all about. The colt merciless place and you will just fall in love with it.
Don’t think much just go on a unplanned trip to Leh. But unlike us let us help your trip.
