Land of Julley!!

As a traveler, strongly recommended place to stay and enjoy nature to the fullest. The place Leh ladakh is to the extreme of North of India lies at an altitude 11,000 ft. On the information side, people could opt for roadtrip like we did or take a flight. There are a lot of homestays here at very reasonable prices. People who have health problems like asthema and heart problems should take utmost care. Please do consult before you go. Backpacking is a lot of fun. The moment you enter this place the serene and calm weather attracts you. Leh ladkah is a massive place to cover, so the more and more you explore, the more you fall in love with place. The beauty of the place is different textured rocks, huge mountains, clouds covering these mountains, Gonpas, Pangong lake, wild life, endless roads, the best dawn and dusk, unpredictable weather and lovely people. I am sure once anyone is done visiting Leh ladakh, the place would always remain close to your heart. This place is also for adventures like hiking, rock climbing, skiing, water rafting (29 kms).

09th June Visit Gulmarg, maybe take the Gondola Ride and end with Shikara Ride in Dal Lake. A must on the itinerary is the sampling of Wazwan Cuisine in Kashmir. We also hiked here towards the Azad kashmir border. We could not go real close as the weather was not favorable. On the way back down, there were thunder storms and we did not have a place to stay. We took a shelter for some time in a house there and then started hiking down. The challenge was the night hike. For the first time in life we all got the opportunity to night hike.
