Arrival in Leh




After a harrowing 4 day drive over mountain passes exceeding 17,800 feet, narrow winding muddy roads that fall precipitously down into oblivion, one sublime 10 hour traffic jam, 4 hospitalizations due to acute altitude sickness, at least 12 more unhospitalized instances of altitude sickness, 2 cases of 'Geography tongue' and some of the most extraordinary landscape imaginable, we finally reached the town of Leh.
