India - Ladakh Region, Fotula Pass 2013

We left Mulbekh village and continued our drive to Leh. Near Heniskot village, the landscape changed as we continued our climb to 4,100m to reach Fotu La Top, the highest point on the Srinagar-Leh Highway. We are now driving in the Himalayan Zanskar Range.

We are losing daylight and decided to stay the night at Lamayuru. Hoping to see the lunar landscape that Lamayuru is so famous for tomorrow.
