Ladakh, the land of mystic beauty is traveller’s heaven. The idea of crossing Zojil La – one of the most precarious mountain passes in the world – in order to reach Ladakh, adds to the excitement.
Once you are on the other side of the Zojil La, the vast green carpets of Kashmir valley’s meadows turn into listless and oddly patterned mountains. The abrupt fade of colours from the landscape makes a traveller realise that he is in a different land.
A land full of surprises! A friend, who was on her maiden visit to Ladakh, summed up the landscape as ‘depressingly beautiful’. But not for everyone! Kashmir Life’s Bilal Bahadur captures the different colours of Ladakh through his lens
