Himalayas -2-

Tough and long trips take you from one town to another, through its narrow rocky roads swirling on the edge of precipices so high you just don't want to think about how old is the Tata bus that's keeping you from falling. Across the Zanskar Mountains I reached Leh in Ladakh, troubled region like its neighbor Kashmir. The final part of my trip took me north through the highest motorable road on earth to the spectacular Nubra Valley, whose final length its restricted to visitors since its still under dispute with Pakistan.
