      (view from hotel room in Leh – Ladakh – India – click to enlarge)

      After a short 6 day visit in Rajasthan and Thar Desert we took a two day’s jeep trip (from Manali) trough the Himalayas to “Little Tibet”.

      Crossing passes of up to 5350m we arrived in the magnificent Ladakh region in the Jammu & Kashmir state (partly disputed in the West) of India.

      The Ladakhi fresh air, open blue sky and Buddhist-Tibetan atmosphere are highly recommended! (watch out with the height though)

          The food is grand! Certainly the Tibetan noodle soups.
          The whole trip was fantastic… the only drawback is the body reaction to the height. Just stepping out of the jeep at +5000m was already exhausting…
          It was really breathtaking.
