"Ladakh is a country with a peculiar charm, totally devoid of green beauty of Kashmir, but its high sandy plains and ridges of granite is rough that all the beauties that once can not enjoy "
-Dr. Nevado
There are some places you've visited by anyone is always in your memory. One of mine is visited by Leh.
Leh is the capital of Ladakh. Ladakh has always been a place of attraction for tourists. Red bear, leopard snow, etc. marmot are found here. Ladakh is also a vacation spot for scientific and political.
I remember very clearly, I and my family and some of my relatives were planning to visit Leh, Ladakh. It was the first time I had heard of such a place in Portugal. Under the name of Leh, I expected the place to be green, with trees, tall buildings, etc. But, to my great surprise, the place was not full of vegetables or have tall buildings. He was always a great fun to visit a place with his cousins as they add to the excitement. While I was on my flight to Leh, I just looked out the window to see. It was then that I realized that was why I said this place would be quite different from other places.
At one point, I could see a mountain valley, completely covered with snow and the other time I saw a huge wasteland. I just could not view the site after seeing different places in my window seat. It was very exciting to see a look, so I was forced by my father to capture point of view even though it was not allowed on the flight. Then came the long awaited moment, the plane landed, and we reached Leh. We were told that the temperature Pool was 9degree c. It was damn cold outside And that's my bad luck was that I was wearing only a top half of the sleeve, and that too with shorts! But after watching the first site to place all my jitters were gone. If I had to describe the place in one word I would simply say that it was "fantastic."
We Leh opportunity to testify because of my 'Phuphaji Colonel Pasbola as it had been placed there. When we reached the army camp, we were made to eat and medicines had to eat them every day, only God knows why we were made to eat these products. We also had a medical check-up to test our level of oxygen and thank God for all tested fine. So that meant we could begin our journey to visit the places leh from the next day.
The first place we visited was in Leh Hemis Gompa. It was a kind of monastery. From the experience of visiting some these types of gompas or better, monasteries, I noticed that the main religion of the people of leh is Buddhism. They love their "guru" Dalai Lama. Then we went to the main Leh market. There was almost nothing to buy, but there were many jewelry stores and jewelry that was too expensive. The principal had sold jewelry pearls. The market was quite full of tourists from around the world. We returned early the next day we had to visit another place in Leh. The next place we visited was the leh palace and Sheh. I really loved the palace of Leh. It was very nice there and we saw many scriptures of the last held there. Sheh visiting the palace was a very interesting experience that was once again that there was only a Buddha statue kept there. That day, we were informed that the children would have a chance to go to burning. Thus, we were taken to a place where three goals were created for us to shoot. There we met an officer who presented us with the other kids that were there for the same thing. I was a little nervous as I had never done such a thing before, but my cousins supported me well, but I knew they were very frightened. It was a great experience to shoot for first time. Everything went very well and then went back to our place. But the best was yet to come! Khardung went to her, the biggest engine of the road power in the world. We went to a height of about 18,000 feet, no vehicle in the world could be driven beyond that point. It was freezing out there, as the temperature was below minus. My lips soon became blue due to cold and lack of oxygen. It was all covered with snow and there was very exciting for me as it was for the first time I had seen snow in my life. Then we went to the lake Pangon. It was a very pleasant experience to visit the lake than it was 70% with 30% and India with China. And that's challenged. The next day was a very special person that we had to start our journey to Kashmir. On our way to Kashmir, we visited many historic monuments like Drass and Kargil which is famous for the Kargil war, which took place way back in 1999. I heard a lot about the Kargil war and seen films based on it. Vijay path visited Memorial that was a tribute to soldiers who lost their lives in Operation Vijay. It was very exciting to see and hear about the operation. We also showed the tiger hill sector Drass. It is the hill at the top and is very special because India re-captured this hill during the war. Hrithik Roshan Lakshya The film is based on this. We stayed one night in Kargil, in a hotel. We've said that before the Kargil war, the terrorists took up residence in Kargil and its residents and no one came to know about it. It was roughly around the war that the army found out about it. But trust me it is a place of one of their single. Very different and difficult people living there. It was a nice experience to visit such a place. The next day we left for Kashmir.
"Who has not heard of the Valley Kashmir;
With its roses the brightest that earth ever gave,
Her temples and caves, mountains and clearest
And the eyes of enlightened love that hang over their wave ".
– Moore.
Someone has said very correctly, that if there is any paradise on earth, Kashmir, Kashmir and Kashmir.
Anyone crazy fall in love with the place is visited once. However, now the tourists hardly dare to visit the site because it is one of the most tension in India. You need have both, luck and opportunity to visit this area. Kashmir is described as "an emerald set in pearls', which opens the sublime to the Valley of Pleasure mundo''e defined by the eminent writers as "One of the best places where the sun shines," "a dream of beauty." Kashmir is also said the Switzerland of India.
We arrived in Kashmir, the night was dark and not there, but time was about six hours. First, he went into a place called Sonmarg is a very important place in Kashmir. It is a must for people who come to Kashmir to visit this place. This was the most beautiful sight I've ever had witnessed in my life. The weather was very cold gentle breeze was blowing, I could see the mountain peaks covered with snow. It was all lush green. We stopped at a shop to have tea and snacks. At that moment it began to rain heavily. As we walked toward the area of the army that vision I could see! The houses that existed as beautiful. There is no place in the world, whether in London or the United States can be compared with the natural beauty of Kashmir. After awhile, when it became dark, the city shone with the lights of all parties. It was then I was shown the most famous place in Kashmir, Dal Lake. How beautiful it was. I was very happy when we were told that the next day we would visit the Dal Lake.
Dal Lake was very thrilling experience. We sat on the Shikara boat, I was too impatient to sit in this boat that I had heard a lot about this. We witness all the Dal lake, due to shikara. There are many films shot in the Dal Lake. The most famous of which is Mission Kashmir, in recent times. Also made skiing there. Our next destination was the temple of Shankaracharya. It is dedicated to Lord Shiva. The famous song "Jai Jai Shiva Shankar" was filmed here. We had to climb too many stairs to reach the temple where the royal sculpture of the god Shiva was maintained. It was very crowded there. Then we leave for Gulmarg which is a very famous in Kashmir. The real beauty lied in this place. It was so cold there, and when we sit on the chairlift, I could see a beautiful view. It was cloudy and it seemed as if the clouds were touching me and going. My dad liked the place so much that he wanted to build a house and live there. We got to the knee boots jackets, gloves and as we had go to a great height by cable car. I could see the spot where we had to go. It was all foggy and there was heavy snowfall up there. So we had to cancel our plans to go upstairs. It was a little disappointing, but my heart was glad to see that site up there. I do not want to leave the place where it was very beautiful. The snow-capped mountains, the gentle breeze, the weather cool everything was so beautiful out there. Someone has said very correctly "In no country in the world there are such masses magnicent of snow-capped mountains represented here, the giants of the Alps look like dwarfs. "So the next day, after visiting places so delicious that we had to start back to Leh. On our way to the place leh we saw was the most exciting Moonland. It was a group of mountains together and you can not just do if they were mountains. They were made of clay. They were rounded up and were just like the color of the moon. That is why it was called Moonland. It was the best location according to me he had witnessed before. On Next we had to leave for Delhi. I just do not want to go back.
On the flight to Delhi, I was just wondering if I ever get a chance again in my life visit this place. People want to visit foreign countries, but never thought they have the beauty that is within your country can not be found anywhere the world. After visiting Leh and Kargil Kashmir I think the only country that has such a natural beauty and charm as is India. Finally, one should visit this place at least once in life, is heaven.
