Strong supple branches of apricot trees, overburdened with fragrant cream flowers were only too happy to release some of the petals that danced to fruity notes on there spiral journey to the winding path under her feet. All they needed was a slight nudge from the mountain breeze eager to cross the Nubra Valley in #Ladakh⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #ladakhtourism #TheGrandDragonLadakh #summerscapesLadakh #summer #snowcappedmountains #nakedmountains #TGDLcustomiseditineraries #LehdiarieswithTGDL #Ladakhihospitality #mountains #girlaroundworld #instatravel #incredibleindia #indialove #india #indiaclicks #india_gram #indiapictures #india_ig #indiaphotography #indiatourism #sheisnotlost #wearetravelgirls ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ PS: I visited Ladakh once again, this time thanks to the good folks at @granddragonladakh .

Once upon a time Turtuk was part of the Central Asian Baltistan empire, then in 1971 there was a war between India & Pakistan, while most of us are aware of forming of Bangladesh few know that Turtuk became part of India during same war. Turtuk is so remote that there is not even a dhaba on the way. Any guesses who serves food / drinks to the tired travelers on the way to Turtuk ? ⠀ In Turtuk you can clearly notice central asian features on the residents faces. The kids are shy & reluctant to get clicked, but in this case the mom of these kids was only too happy to let us click them, but only after she has hidden behind the door to avoid our camera :) Do you want more of Turtuk stories ? Well I have got many, watch this space.⠀ ,⠀ ,⠀ ,⠀ ,⠀ ,⠀ ,⠀ #portrait⠀ #portraitphotography⠀ #summerscapesLadakh⠀⠀ #cntgiveitashot⠀⠀ #NGTIndia⠀⠀ #bbctravel⠀⠀ #snowcappedpeaks #onassignment ⠀ ⠀ #incredibleindia⠀ #visitKashmir ⠀⠀ #dslr_official⠀ #Mypixeldiary⠀ #portraitmood #portraitpage ⠀⠀ #Ladakhihospitality⠀⠀ ⠀#IamNikon⠀ #magicalLadakh⠀⠀ #ecofriendlyLadakh⠀⠀ #travelphotography #capturetomorrow #snowcappedmountains #mountains ⠀⠀ #TheGrandDragonLadakh⠀⠀ BTW I visited Ladakh once again, this time thanks to the good folks at @granddragonladakh⠀ ⠀⠀ PS: Check, like follow @desiTraveler & post using #desiTraveler, to be featured on the " UsLee", & original desi Traveler :P BTW hamaree koi branch nahi hai....

Old saying > Don't be a Gama, in the land of Lama.⠀ Just as an FYI: Gama jee was a famous pehelwan. But in the rarified air of Ladakh you need to take each step carefully specially during the first 48 hours when your body acclimatise to the low oxygen atmosphere. We just went to Shanti Stupa in evening on our first day in Leh. That is where I met this kind Lama jee and clicked him with the Shanti Stupa.⠀ This is the first image of the day from #Leh the biggest city in #Ladakh. No Leh and Ladakh are not the same. Leh is the city, Ladakh is the region in the stage of Jammu and Kashmir. Some of the other prominent places in Ladakh region are Diskit, Hunder, Siachin Glacier, Turtuk... this last one is very interesting as it became part of India only in 1971 before that it was a part of Pakistan. Ok the second image of the day will be from there only jee, stay tuned.⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ ⠀ ⠀#monk⠀ #Azureskies⠀⠀ #summerscapesLadakh⠀⠀ #cntgiveitashot⠀⠀ #NGTIndia⠀⠀ #bbctravel⠀⠀ #snowcappedpeaks #surreallandscapes #onassig⠀ ⠀#shantistupa⠀ #Lama⠀ #buddhism⠀ #summerbeauty⠀⠀ #incredibleindia⠀ #visitKashmir ⠀⠀ #landscapephotography⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ #Ladakhihospitality⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ #magicalLadakh⠀⠀ #dinKayDo⠀⠀ #ecofriendlyLadakh⠀⠀ #travelphotography #capturetomorrow #landscapes #snowcappedmountains #mountains ⠀⠀ #TheGrandDragonLadakh⠀⠀ BTW I visited Ladakh once again, this time thanks to the good folks at @granddragonladakh⠀ ⠀⠀ PS: Check, like follow @desiTraveler & post using #desiTraveler, to be featured on the " UsLee", & original desi Traveler :P BTW hamaree koi branch nahi hai....
