Aloha everyone!

A landscape dotted with amazing peaks, flowing rivers, mighty glaciers and bright blue skies – nature at its untamed best! Add to it the simple lifestyle, Buddhist culture (Ladakh is known to have the largest number of monasteries), rich food and you have a recipe for the most amazing travel experience ever! I was very fortunate to visit this magical land in August 2013, and will share memories from…
