The drive through this high altitude
road beyond the Great Himalayan range on the edge of the Tibetan
plateau, connects the densely fertile kulu valley to the barren,
cold desert region of Ladakh, once accessible only from Kashmir.
The journey goes through some of the most spectacular mountain
scenery ever witnessed by road travellers. As one traverses the
main ranges of the Himalayas, the stark contrast in the topography
becomes apparent. Lahaul and later Ladakh reveal barren landscapes
that assume fantastic and bizzare shapes. Surrealistic colours
splash off rocks ranging from various shades of brown to rust,
gold, pink and yellow. Here one traverses the roof of the world,
where the Buddhist influence on the inhabitants tries to soften
the rough existence they lead for mere survival.
