while you get to go to Ladakh within the first ten days of a new year you know it began on the right observe. Ladakh is actually special for me. It was the primary location I wrote approximately in this blog! My lifestyles looked up when I visited Ladakh in 2005, i'm hoping for something comparable after this go to a decade later! initially here is Ladakh in winter in pix!
The Hosts- Grand Dragon Ladakh The Grand Dragon Ladakh
My hosts for this trip were The Grand Dragon Ladakh.
With the temperatures in minus for most of our stay, I appreciated my
centrally heated room a lot! This post is an overview of my trip. You
will get to read in detail about the various aspects of visiting Ladakh
in winter later! I am so grateful to the Grand Dragon and their PR
partners for providing me a fabulous start to 2016! The View from My Room!
My room faced the Sotk Range of mountains. This was the view I woke
up to daily. As Leh is at the height of 11,500 feet we took the first
day easy and just lounged about in the hotel! Day 1- Gustor Festival at Spituk Monastery, Shanti Stupa, Leh The Gustor Festival at Spituk Monastery, Leh
One of the highlights of our trip was attending the first day of the
Gustor festival at the Spituk Monastery. In a crowd of thousands there
must have been about 40 odd tourists, out of which our group contributed
14 members! The mask dance festival was attended primarily by the
locals! Shanti Stupa, Leh Sunset at the Shanti Stupa, Leh
Our second stop for the day was at the Shanti Stupa in the evening.
With the temperatures firmly in minus, it was cold! I was happy to head
back to the heated car and the heated hotel! Day 2- Chilling, Alchi and Lamayuru Zanskar River in Winter!
We had a long day on Day 2 and I was looking forward to it! Our first
stop was supposed to be Chilling, the starting point of the Chadder
Trek. But as the Border Roads Organization (BRO) was blasting about 10
km before Chilling we had to give up our quest but not before we saw the
beautiful Zanskar River trying hard to freeze. Lamayuru, Ladakh Looking out to Lamayuru Village!
We stopped at Lamayuru Village first. It has a fabulous monastery
where we were the only visitors! It is beautiful as any village in
Ladakh! Alchi, Ladakh Alchi, Ladakh
Alchi is one of the oldest monastery in Ladakh. It has four complexes
with stunning paintings on its walls. To preserve it, no photography is
allowed inside it. Beautiful Vistas on Day 2
Day two was equally memorable for the beautiful landscapes we saw all
along our drive. We gave the drivers a very tough time, asking them to
stop almost at every bend! This was somewhere near Lamayuru! Indus River near Alchi, Ladakh
Our young driver Tashi was extremely patient with us. On this day I was sharing the car with fellow bloggers Swati and Sam and we had a wonderful time! Day 3- Thiksey and Chemdey Monasteries A Young Lama at the Morning Prayers, Thiksey Monastery
We attended the morning prayers at the Thiksey Monastery to start the
Day 3. While this was not the first occasion when I attended the
prayers at a monastery it was certainly a first in the winter! It was
followed by the breakfast at a local village nearby. Chemdey Monastery, Ladakh The Chemdey Monastery, Ladakh
We shared the Chemdey Monastery with a few locals. There were no tourists other than us! It was certainly cold but it was a pleasure to have almost the whole Ladakh to us!
Our last official stop was at the home of a local oracle. But we made many unofficial stops while coming back to the hotel!
This in nutshell was my first trip of 2016. I am blessed that I got
to see winter in Ladakh with my base at the luxurious Grand Dragon
Hotel. I will write separate, detailed posts on each of the aspects of
this cherished trip. But to begin with, I could not resist showcasing
the pictures from the entire trip
