The road goes ever on and on Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So...Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." -- Mark Twain

You have inspired me. Have been interested in visitng Ladakh for a while now but dont like organised tours.
The bus ride sounds like hell but memorable non the less. Have travelled extensively throughout south east asia and some of the most exciting and hairy moments were in busses.
Thanks for sharing with us.
