Radhe Radhe!
Hope everyone's find and doing great.
Today is all about the the beauty of roads at the Ladakh that I have travelled and wants to keep this experience going. To be accurate it is Srinagar-Leh Highway, which completely have stollen my heart. After crossing Padum, guess what I witnesses?Wild yak
It's rare and it was such a magnificent sight, even if I could have paid for the view I won't get a wild-huge-beautiful-yak. Well it's true and well said that best things in nature are free.
Yak is an integral part of the people's lives living in this area. Not only it is used as an carrying animal, but it's also used for its fur and milk.
We also hoped to see other wild animals there the biggest hope being a snow leapord and ibex.
The Wild Yak
On a way we found many Tibetan prayer flags They were looking really vibrant in the arid climate that was all around the area. As most of the population living in this area are Tibetan people. So you will find the Houses of Tibetan people always covered with flags and a pole with white coloured flags on it. According to them, it's for the peace of the environment they are living in.

According to them, it's for the peace of the environment they are living in as these player flags have mantra's written written all over them.
This highway looked like a movie set to me. What a great experience we had driving on this beautiful highway. We felt like we are on the top of the world and its a highway leading us to heaven. The clearest blue sky, cold arid landscapes around us and the perfectly maintained roads made it even better. The fall colors made this place more dramatic.
Srinagar-Leh Highway
The beauty of these roads is indescribable, with every pasing second, the road leads you to the new destination. These are the most breathtaking and adventurous road I have ever driven on. It get challenging too whith tme but the natural beauty, the landscape and the cultural significance of the place balance it all. Here at Ladakh it's surprisingly great to explore the glaciers along with the desert with at extremely cold.
These are the type of road that will either make you or break you. I'm sayings do cause driving here between the beautiful landscape with lots of cultural significance, you somehow find yourself. Getting lost is best way to find yourself once you are on these roads you realize life isn't just to live it's meant to enjoy, its meant to do something that challenges you make you better not as an individual but as an human being. The road which I'm currently on is Srinagar-Leh Highway and it's popular among travellers and visitors for the paranomic view, the lush green valley which has now turned yellow cause it's winters.
Well not only this, as you all know for travellers Ladakh is heaven and it will be completely unfair to glamorize only the famous spot and well known places, a true adventure seeker would never even do that. For us unknown places are our destination and everything around is an adventure, you must be aware enough that's it.
These road will also give you touch of the cultural and you will be amazed to find out how spiritual these people are. With every passing turn you will see monestries, stupas and idols. I have already shared about it in my past blogs, you can check for better understanding.
Due to extremeness of the climate here and difficult lifestyle, we didn't saw many human colonization here. There were a few shelters of shephars here and there and apart from them there we saw no other constructions there.
I hope you enjoyed the blog.
Thank you for reading.
