This particular image was shot somewhere on Srinagar-Leh Highway during my Leh Voyage in 2009, a journey of a life time. Leh, the capital of Ladakh region is connected by road basically in two ways, one from Manali in Himanchal Pradesh and the other from Srinagar, Jammu & Kashmir. The Srinagar-Leh route is one among the top TEN scenic routes in India and provides a variety of vivid as well as extreme landscapes. Some barren tall mountains similar to this really looks scary at times.
In the year 2009, Government was trying to make butter smooth roads on this stretch and I wish it must be over by now. But I can bet, it will not be of the same adventure to ride on a smooth tarmac.
