It was a sunny day but at this altitude you can't stay warm without a jacket. The sun is blinding without your sunglasses but the views around you are stunning! The snow capped mountain range you see in this picture is the famous 'Stok Kangri' range of Himalayan mountains. It's quite popular amongst trekkers visiting Leh.

In my next post I'll show you the location for shooting this picture—should you ever decide to visit this place yourselves!
