The Heaven or Hell?
The journey to Khardung La Pass winds through a landscape that transforms dramatically with gaining altitude. Far below lie patchwork fields surrounding Leh, giving way to desert-like expanses of rock and sand. As the road climbs higher into the rarefied air, the scenery shifts to snow-draped peaks and valleys. At the summit, a panorama of Himalayan wonder unfolds.
Reaching the top feels like entering an airy castle hall, the soaring mountain peaks the columns supporting a vaulted ceiling of deepest azure. One can almost hear the wind whistling ancient tales through the rocky crags. As the road crests the pass, a breathtaking panorama unfolds on all sides - wave after wave of stark ridgelines marching to the horizon, their flanks dressed in ice and snow even in high summer.
