Travel Through Himalayan Mountain Passes

Book excerpt: Everyone loves to travel or tour. But while the trip is thrilling, the memories stay etched in the mind for a long time. It is one such travelogue, the backdrop of which is the valley of the high Himalayan plateau in J &K, Ladakh and Himachal from 11,000 feet to 18,000 feet, with nine, at times inaccessible and dangerous, mountain passes, and the breathtakingly beautiful Shyok Valley, surrounded by unprecedented natural beauty, at an altitude of 14,000 amidst the Himalayan mountain ranges, the brackish water lake Pangong in Indo China border. On the road from Leh to Manali, the rugged Baralacha, the 21 bend Gata-loop and the beautiful Jispa. And the 7500 kilometers roadways of this journey, all covered in self-driven car, on completely unknown terrain roads on high Himalayan plateaus. This travelogue is therefore a record of an exciting travel experience.
