New on 500px : Quiet Storm by abhishekpatel by abhishekpatel

Anything after the Rohtang La is one of the most cruel and extreme working conditions for this men who work almost around the clock to keep the lifeline of J&K, ie the NH1 running smoothly, It may seem calm at one point and complete chaos at another instance, It may be a bright Sunny day, at one hour and a snow storm at the other hour.

New on 500px : Long and Enchanted Lake by Angshu by Angshu

Just about 160 km from Leh is a beautiful lake named the Pangong Tso or Lake in Ladakh. Situated at a height of about 13,900 ft, the name Pangong is a derivative of the Tibetan word Banggong Co meaning “long, narrow, enchanted lake”. One third of the lake is in India while the remaining two thirds lies in Tibet, which is controlled by China. Majority of the streams which fill the lake are located on the Tibetan side. Pangong Tso is about five hours drive from Leh in Ladakh region of Jammu & Kashmir. The route passes through beautiful Ladakh countryside, over Chang La, the third highest motorable mountain pass (5289 m) in the world.
