We woke up in the morning to realize what a beautiful place we'd spent the night in!!! Just outside the window was this huge rocky mountain!! The hotel had their own farm and dinner had been yummy, breakfast was amazing!! I fell in love with the Apricot Jam they served!! We spent a lot of time in their flower/fruit garden. The owner was a very gracious host and we promised him we'd be back for longer stays! :)
As is obvious from the photos, AJ was off shooting some macro frames... he sorely missed having a macro lens..so I know where the next dent in my pocket is gonna be! :P
After breakfast we left to the Panamic Springs, this was a hot hot day! The journey was tiring, but the views were fantastic as always. We drove a long distance by the Shyok River to reach the springs. But when we did it was just too hot to be enjoyed!!
Walking upto the springs with my umbrella, I did try offering to share it with AJ...but he refused to be seen under the shade of a white polka dotted umbrella!! :DD Can't say I blame him though!!
A roasted group of us left from here and headed back to Khardungla! This time around we met some military folk there who taught us Ladakhi dance...we had a whale of a time before finally heading back to Leh
As we began the descent from the pass a glorious sunset came upon us!! Some unforgettable views this!! It became dark and the last stretch of the drive was scary..none the less we got back in one piece with so many memories I am sure if we were a hard disk we'd have exhausted our space a long time ago!! :)
I couldn't help but wonder how this first pic with the snow capped peaks seemed like a replica of the pic we clicked from the flight!! Showed us how high Khardungla was!!! :) Back in the hotel we were sooo exhausted we missed a Dumb Charades session ...next was tomorrow's Leh Fest!! Hmmm....
