People and Places, Zanskar

The incredible people of Ladakh, helping and guiding us to safely wade through the intimidating Zanskar River. Frozen during the winter, the river used to be the only means of connecting the valley people of remote Zanskar Valley with the rest of Ladakh.

The Timeless Beauty Of The Himalayan Hamlet Of Nako

Tucked away amidst the rows of dusty brown mountains of the Himalayan ranges, is the hidden hamlet of Nako – a timeless beauty. Perched at an elevation of about 12000 ft, this rustic village is located in the Kinnaur district of Himachal Pradesh. The tiny village is situated at a surreal location in the trans-Himalayan region, close to the Indo-China border. Its remote location makes it less-visited but absolutely rewarding.

Mornings in the Mountains

This is how mornings in the Himalayan mountains look like. This is how the views outside your tent look like when you step out of it, after spending a night of nonstop snowfall, in the middle of nowhere (quite literally) oblivious to the gorgeous peaks and glaciers all around you.
