Recce.
Left for Khardungla after breakfast and coffee in the market. The first test of our acclimatisation; went quite well actually. Felt a bit sick approaching the peak, but it went away as soon as the car stopped at the highest point and we got down.
Took some pictures and left for Khalsar, and had the most amazing thukpa with fried eggs on the way there, which our local LP made. Sometimes I feel people don't deserve to see these beautiful sights at the cheap prices they are on offer for. On our way from Khalsar to Diskit we saw some of the most spectacular valleys around us. The valleys surrounded vast plains covered by tiny white stones, and rivers running along the motorable path for miles on end.
Saw two shoot units along the way, stopped at a waterfall and drank from the fresh water spring. Went to Diskit and had goat intestine fried in oil, called Gyuma in Ladakhi. Left for Osse Khar Resort near Sumur around 8 pm. It's beautiful how much life largely remains unchanged around these areas. No deadlines, no great rush, no politics, no hurry. These areas are a reminder for how little we matter in the face of nature and its ways.
Osse Khar is a cool little place near Sumur and we had a lovely north Indian dinner and beers before falling asleep.
