Once you reach places like Khardung La, the best of us become Patels. We literally raided the souvenir shop. I got a couple of T-shirts, and the others got caps, hats, medals, key-chains… at least one of everything that was stocked. After about an hour there, we headed on towards North Pullu, and Nubra Valley.
