Ladakh and global warming

Denial or Ignorance
(Trip - SEP-18)

Ladakh is a full of barren mountains. Variety in Patterns of mountains is beautiful as well.

Compact granular sand mountains

Solid Rock mountains

Whitish sand mountains

It does not rain much in Ladakh region. Yet, Ladakhi does farming and believes in organic farming. Farming is dependent on River water.

Women work very hard in entire Ladakh, women are strong here

Farming in Turtuk

The rivers in Ladakh region gets water from Snow melting. Many mountain tops have snow for entire year. But with global warming, formation of Ice has reduced as well as meltdown of ice has increased.

The Faster meltdown of ice and increased temperature results in less availability of water. Crops die and does not yield as much as it used to before. Local population in unanimously confirmed global warming has made drastic changes in environment and has adverse effect on their economy.

What needs to be done to rectify global warming effects is known to all, but do show ignorance or showcase denial right away?

Turtuk - Where peace prevails

Lost and found Balti Land in 1971 (TRIP - SEP-18) Pakistan has captured Gilgit and Baltistan from India and the land is called Pakistan Occupied Kashmir - POK. In 1971 during Indo-Pak war, not only Bangladesh was liberated but POK was regained by Indian army as well. Under UN pressure, POK was returned but Turtuk became part of India. Shayok River nourishes the land and it provides sufficient water for farming. Trek to Masjid located uphill provides beautiful views. View point is another place on slightly lower height and provides peaceful place to sit even to local population. View Point - Turtuk Monastery is another peaceful place to enjoy peace and talks with your friends. I enjoyed my visit to Turtuk with South Korean friends. Balti Kitchen There are some good food joints. Balti kitchen ranks one and Friends Cafe with amazing view for River takes second spot. Friends Cafe Although Turtuk is still not hot tourist destination, visit of few to...

Pure Vegetarian restaurants in Leh

That's my contribution to non-violence. There are very few pure vegetarian restaurants in Leh but in Amritsar delicious Veg food is available. For me Brothers Dhaba in Amritsar is overrated. Some other food point should be tried. To experience food in Golden temple is good, apart from that, explore amazing food available in and around Amritsar. Listed below are the once I was able to find with lots of walking in and around Leh. Wish it helps someone, someday. Neha Refreshment in Main Market (Leh - 3.5stars on 5) Punjab Tadka restaurant (Leh - 4 stars on 5 ) Best Pure Veg Food possible near Main market (Leh) Tsomori near Main Market on Fort Road (Leh - Not tried) Radhu's in Main market (Leh - Not t...
