Beauty is the Beast #1

Ranga takes on a water crossing. All four of us struggled through the edge of this crossing, when a local on a TVS Victor cruised right through the centre. So that’s how it should have been done!

The breathtakingly beautiful Zanskar valley.

We had lunch at a small village on the way. The menu there consists of three things:

• Maggi noodles
• Cornflakes with milk
• Eggs to order

I made do with some Maggi and boiled eggs, while the veggie boys (Ranga and Chaithra) subsisted on Maggi alone.
