Ladakh, a place on earth which seems to have been both cursed and blessed by the creator. Cursed because the fruits of modernization and advanced communications have not reached there fully yet, and blessed for the same reason. It is a cold desert situated in northern India spotted with beautiful mountain passes, rivers, sand dunes, snow capped peaks and roads and magnanimous landscapes, which can make someone feel humble about their existence. It feels like mountains rule this land, and are arrogant about it, choosing to open or close paths in their wake as and when they like. It is a trip of a lifetime that will take you away from your life’s hustle and bustle and will show you a totally different face of earth. The long roads going through the spectacular valleys can make you think: “Do I really want to reach somewhere? I can ride along this path forever”
