Morning at Leh

We had requested the guesthouse owner for a Ladakhi breakfast upon checking in yesterday evening. Our lazy morning was highlighted by special Ladakhi bread and omlette.

One thing to note: we drank warm water everywhere. Cold water was a big no-no since ambient temperatures were not more than 10-15°C in the day… back at home, those temperatures are extreme winter!

While we sat there, this man introduced himself and showed us his mug, a souvenir from KhardungLa, world’s highest motorable road.

Next three photos were clicked by Shrenik… shows clearly how our beards had grown since the day we started off from Puné, all clean shaven.

After lounging around, we decided to head out and look around the city.
