Thanks a lot Mr. Khan. The Ladakhi kitchen you have taken is at my home and the people in the picture are my beloved grandparents. I am sorry to share that they passed away few years back and I am their grand son. This picture is very special to me. Thanks a lot sir.

Thanks for sharing the story. We journied from Srinagar to Leh in March. We had to wait in Sonamarg for the Zojila to open. Going back to Srinigar we slept in a truck in Dross, right after Kargil, as the army permitted one way traffic on the pass going our way in mornings, and of course no traffic at night! Great place.

I visited Ladakh one year later: October 1981. Never returned, for fear of seeing the touristy mobs blazing through the old streets. I am awe stricken though, now that I see the frightening Srinagar-Leh road. It's a miracle we didn't tumble down those cliffs... When we returned in the beginning of November, Zoji-La was closed due to heavy snow and we had to stay in Kargil for five days. Finally the truck driver with whom I hitched a ride decided we should go, and that was the scariest ride in my life. We negotiated Zoji-La during a blizzard. All the world was white. But I lived to tell.
Thank you for the splendid images.
Peace. From The Netherlands.

I was last year in Ladakh, it is the most special land I know, the images are awesome, I've been remembering the good moments i had sorrounded by mountains and stupas.

Nowadays tourist are everywhere, 1980 should have been more authentic than it is now. Great photos!!!
