Pangong hasn't frozen yet, that’s strange. What all places did you manage to visit during your trip? Did you went to Nubra or only till Khardung La?

On the flipside,
The cold was unforgiving...dropping down to as low as -25 C even during daytime on some of the passes we went through

The roads were scary, with a bunch of skids and spins on the narrow roads...
But in the end, it was all worth it...

Here are a couple of teaser pics

hey great pics.....and S told me abt the trip today......waiting for more pic.........good to know u guys had fun

Yup..it was a brilliant trip Deepak

Yogesh, Pangong freezes over only by mid-Jan whough the shores had started to freeze already

Nearly none..Leh town still had some vistiors but I did not see anyone else venturing out outside the town while I was there

Abhi182 - nice pictures! Sounds like you dont get AMS! I am hoping we are like you, because we go skiing in the weekends at 11,000 ft and are fine. But 15K may be different. Anyway, where in Leh did you stay?

Nice pics. The one of the taxi sideways on the road brought back memories... the same thing happened to me in late May on the way to Pangong. It snowed overnight and a lot of the Qualis's had nearly bald tires and no chains. Good times.
