keep it up cheers
pictures you have some really cool pictures here, well done.
it would be soo useful if you could put a date on them or perhaps the time of the year.
well done again!!!!!!!
Nice journal you have here. Just thought I'd add my two cents. :)
Its "Juley", not "Joo-lay". Literally translated, it reads as "Good appetite". Don't ask me they why's and how's, but it's used for greetings, goodbyes, the works!
I've been to Ladakh myself, but via the Manal-Leh route. I hope to do the Srinagar-Leh route via Kargil someday, to round up the travelling experience.
The Kashmiri salted tea -- salt is generally added in generous doses to tea in the highlands. In Tibet (and Ladakh!), it is added to "Tsampa" -- buttered ground barley. I suspect it has to do with raising the blood pressure in order to mitigate the crushing headaches that are common at the higher altitudes. An excess of salt in the body tends to make one retain more water, which can only mitigate the dehydration one is prone to at such high altitudes.
You have some very good images up. Keep shooting!

Very good approach for India. Hi Fernando you wrote a very good artical on Indian Historical places.As I am Indian and I am very happy when I read this article but there are thousands of places and each place has its own reputation and own belief, you will find diffrent kind of experiance.
If you want to know something more than I will give you the information about that.

Hi y'all, I'm glad I found this site. I can finally do what i've always wanted, post my writeups online with an unlimited room for pics.
What can I say? Life is beautiful and so we need to enjoy it. At a young age I discovered the joy of travel. As many of you out there, I too have the travel-bug, the urge to travel and discover what's out there. My dream is to visit all of the corners of the globe: from East to West; and from North to South.
saludos,

Beautiful
I am an Indian but I haven't seen the Thar desert yet. Your pics have tempted me to go and see it asap. :)
