Mr Stobgais Shalak aka Mr Nice and Helpful of Lingchen Tours.
Julley! Thank you so much for introducing me the local way to Nubra valley and Kargil.
Neither lunch nor dinner. Veg Manchurian and rice
The Karakoram Mountain Range
The funny monk and Israeli. The latter kept dozing off and touched the driver's shoulder. The mischevious monk would turn up the volume of the music to wake up to dozing Israeli.
In this car, besides both of them, there is a Sikh, an Indian and 2 Ladakhi men.
