100 Hours 100 Pictures #100

100 hours of moments that never leave me. This is my favourite shot taken while traveling to Khardungla. It being the highest motorable pass. High on spirits and tough to survive, khardungla is an experience truly out of this world For years this shot has inspired me when I think of the extreme climatic conditions in which people tend to work there. Nature will never cease to challenge, surprise and inspire.

Thanks for sharing the passion, each one of u! I hope to continue this journey and take you along through my frames.

View from the flight, Leh, Ladakh

The most sensible decision was to take a flight to Leh. One the gorgeous top view, but also keeping all the roughing it out for the days when you have got used to the weather. The sun shot a good spotlight as our flight landed in this city of silently breathing dreams!

Sand dreams, Leh Ladakh
This is a picture taken just a week or so before the deadly cloud burst. We were at the Leh palace and city seems as if it were like a miniature creates for planning. Looks like a scene from a film, this city breathes culture, music and art more than anywhere else that I have been to.

Happy traveller, Ladakh

Raw, rough and ripe in culture, Ladakh has to offer every traveller an introspective journey into oneself. Its best to travel with not more than 2 people, enjoy the silence and enjoy the sun soaked sand palaces. You would be a happy traveller if you were open to simplicity, solitude and serenity. Nothing too complicated has ever been satisfying and so does Ladakh teach you to do uncomplicate.

The orange skies, Leh, Ladakh

Dyed in crimson,
Dipped in orange
These skies
Breathe songs of freedom
Passion needs a canvas like this
To grow into unique forms of art
Where every evening brings hope
Such are these orange skies

Snowclad mountains always fill your heart with great courage. As they stand across lands to protect and withstand weather, one can almost feel the power that they behold in thier rocky hearts.

Bell wrapped in prayer flags is a classic symbol of hope and przyers wrapped and resonate everytime someone rings it. And every time someone rings it, it adds to the prayers and the wishes to fulfill theirs and all previous prayers made there.

Confused Traveler, Leh
One needs several coping mechanisms to get through travel and especially when it is in a place like ladakh. Initially when told about aclamatisation, you sort of act as if you are batman with spiderman traits, but its only when you reach there you understand what air pressure can do to your body and brain. It feels like you can never quench your thirst of these landscapes but your brain gets so tired of breathing that your body tends to start giving up. Each one finds their way to cppe with the weather stress. Some walk slow, some drink loads of water and some others like me rely on power naps

Terrace Cafes, Leh
Memories of the last conversation I had with one of the most important people in my life. Wish I could let go of you and your thoughts when the sun went down. Ladakh was special and seeing you made it the best trip I have ever had. You were the poetry, the interpretation of my dreams but now, merely a painful floating thought.

Shadows and Blues, Pangong Lake, Ladakh
One of the most fascinating sight at Pangong is how clouds create shadows on hills. These adds great depth and deep brown shades bring out the blue and green shades in water

Reflective Rocks, Pangong Lake, Ladakh

Crystal clear waters at Pangong which have every shade of blue, green and grey cleanse your soul of malice and negativity. Nothing has ever touched my heart and mind as much as this place.

Pangong Lake, Ladakh
There is nothing more magical than the Pangong Lake. Its tough to take your eyes off the colors. Infact I was mesmerised by the scene so much that my heart was filled with energy, positivity and great vibes. The best way to enjoy these is to sit alone on a rock and stare at the water

Ribbed Mountains,Ladakh
July in Leh is so perfect as it has the best of the snow clad mountains and mornings are pleasant while evenings you would like to wrap yourself in a jacket while sipping some thukpa.
The world might be running to catch trains but all you need to soak yourself into is silence, solitude and sand castle palaces in Leh.

On the way to Pangong, Ladakh

Nature finds ways to amuse it self,
it fills snow like humans indulge in habits,
the mountains let some snow roll down
Like we allow tears to roll.
Hills hold in their hearts
Little bushe

Painted Skies,Ladakh

Would you know what I painted
if I were to shut your eyes?
Would you know what scares me
And wakes me up in the middle of  the night
Would you trust that I would jump
Off the cliff with you
For I trust and know you would
Hold my hand and thoughts safely in your heart.
