Leaving for Ladakh in a few hours

September5

The last few days in Chandigarh have been quite hectic, but we’re finally done with all the preparation for our road trip to Ladakh via Sangla Valley. The road to Ladakh via the route we’re taking just opened up today, it was blocked due to post-monsoon landslides for more than a week. We’re lucky, else the route wouldn’t have been as adventurous.

The vehicle we’ve bought for the trip is an SUV, a 2007 Mahindra Scorpio. For us, we’ve bought oxygen cylidnders for any high altitude issues, if any were to arise and plenty of spares recommended by travelers who’ve done this journey by road before.

Ladakh happens to be one of my favorite places in India, so I am certainly quite excited. Having been there once before by air, driving all the way up from Chandigarh is going to be quite a thrill.

    Bhanu…Ruchi….i am missing you guys. We talk about you every time we hang out with each other. Amit is coming down south today..Vishal and Amit are coming over for the 1pm NFL football game. We’re going to crack some coronas…and then going to temptations for some butter chicken. Good ol times.

    Vishal is moving out of his place…he’s signed up at these new condos that have come up in rivermark (right by safeway) moving on Nov 1st.

    Other than that life is good. Will see you guys soon….be safe out there. Kiran says ‘hi’.

    cheers.
