Photo – Khardungla Top – Ladakh India
|
I was going to Nubra valley when I took this photo. To go to Nubra valley, you have to cross the world’s highest motorable road – The Khardungla Pass. We went through the Khardungla pass during June 2006, when the snow was getting cleared. We were lucky that the pass was open as we could see the snow-ploughs of Border Roads Organisation continuously clearing the lower reaches of the pass on both the north and south sides of the pass. The best part of the photographs were the striations in the ridge and the snow melting in the side facing the sun which gives it zebra like stripes. We were initially planning to do a 3-day trip but cut it short by a day. How lucky we were as the pass was closed due to heavy snowfall from the 3rd day onwards for 3 more days.
