Breathtaking Ladakh

I took this shot near Sarchu on the Manali-Leh highway.We were at the time at an altitude of around 14000 feet above sea level.This is one of the most spectacular highways of the world.To really get an idea about the scale and grandeur of the landscape you might take a look at the village at the base of the mountain to the left of the shot.
The approx.490 kms long Manali-Leh highway connects Manali in the state of Himachal Pradesh to Leh in the state of Jammu & Kashmir in India.This highway is open for only about 4-5 months of the year from May-June till around mid-October.The average elevation of the highway is over 13000 feet and the highest elevation is at Tanglang la Pass (17480 feet).The highway passes through some spectacular mountain scenery and one can see some amazing rock and sand formations along the way.
