Travel Route: Pang – Nakila La Pass – Jispa – Keylong
I love all the variety of nature’s glory, but by far, my favorite is the desert. The endless uninterrupted horizon line makes me feel connected to something much bigger, and I choose to call it God. This landscape’s mix and ever-changing colors conjure up abstract paintings, and I get obsessed with capturing them all into my memory bank.
The Lonely Planet description of the route between Leh to Manali as follows: “Utterly beautiful but exhaustingly spine-jangling, this is a ride you won’t forget. The Upshi-Keylong section crosses four passes over 4900m, and then there’s the infamously unpredictable Rohtang La Pass before Manali.”

Tashi taught Tomer some basic words in both Ladakhi and Hindi. The class never stopped, and the student was making small conversations with mostly everyone he could.
