Road Trip to Ladakh

Blog Contents:

This blog gives a complete overview and is a perfect ready reckoner to plan a trip to Ladakh. It lists all the necessary information required to make a successful trip. Its a culmination of exhaustive research on other blogs and information sources coupled with the experience of completing the entire trip.

Background:

It all started with a friend's friend posting the photos of his trip to Ladakh on Orkut and when four enthusiastic, adventure seeking guys saw the pics together - they mind was in chorus with one thought - We should be there.

Work and Normal routine life kept us going and the dream continued to elude us and time kept passing by - days to weeks to months and years! But the Dream lived on.

The spirit never subdued. We never let it.

Finally - after about nearly 2 years we finally were able to fulfill the dream we all saw together.

In spite of working in different companies, staying in different locations - On the 25th of June 2010, the moment of truth finally came. We embarked on our journey to the Land of Gamas - Ladakh! From the Silicon Valley to the Kashmir Valley - by Road (though not entirely :-)

The sheer time it took to materialize this dream itself speaks volumes of the kind of effort and team work that went in to embark on this voyage spanning 16 days. Kudos to Abhishek Gupta, Bhawani Shankar Kaju aka Cash and Kaushal Sarathe for their sheer grit and determination that made this dream live on to become a reality. Well taking off for 10 working days amidst your promotion cycles or within days of joining a new organization isn't a child's play after all!
