Ladakh - A land of mountains and monasteries - Part 1

I've always loved the mountains. It's always a great feeling to be high up on one and seeing the beautifully laid landscape that surrounds it. The view, almost always is breath taking. It was no different in Ladakh. If anything, it was only better. Ladakh, has been a dream destination for me for a while now. And finally, I was headed there ...This post will be split into several parts as this was a week long trip with tonnes of pictures.

Day 1 & Day 2

Location : Leh (Leh Palace, Shey Palace, Hemis Monastery, Thiksay Monastrey, Stok Palace)
Gear : Canon 550D, Canon 10-22mm, Canon Speedlite 430 EX II
