Hiking in Tibetan India – The High Himalayas of Ladakh

April 18th, 2011

Early last Fall saw me hiking in Ladakh, the Tibetan region of India’s Himalaya mountains for the folks with High Life. Flying into Leh was like having a front-seat in a video game as your plane angled its way between soaring peaks. The whole landscape, and the people, are incredibly beautiful – everywhere you turn there is a different monastery; an incredible vista; or a terrifying road snaking its way up a mountain. For this trip I joined Janet Street-Porter, to provide the images for her prose. You can see some of them below in the gallery, or take a look at how it appeared in the magazine
