Day 1

My life mantra :
सैर कर दुनिया की गाफिल, जिन्दगानी फिर कहां।
जिन्दगानी गर रही तो, ये जवानी फिर कहां!
Hopped an early morning flight from New Delhi.
The earlier you reach leh, the better it is, for you need atleast 24 hours to get accustomed to the altitude and weather.
The journey begins with a day of complete rest!

Day 2

Local sightseeing! What's better than exploring a new town, knowing about their culture and eating good food!
Went to the beautiful shey palace, leh palace, sindhu ghat and Rancho cafe! I wanted to go there since 3 idiots 😎
Not to forget the beautiful monasteries!
Amazing day 😍
