Trekking pics begin

  




Early days: our pre-departure stay in Vashisht where the journey of the Monkeys begins - you'll read more about Monkey Adventures later on in my blogging career.

Driving to Zanskar Sumdo in a Sumo. Our last car trip until Padum.
Passport and satellite phone check in Darcha. The military man spent a good half hour examining our passports and then had us sign a disclaimer: 'I have warned the two lady persons of the danger of foot walking on their own in the Himalayas with only one horseman and the two lady persons insist that they would still like to go foot walking.'
First morning view from our cosy one and a half man tent.

Day 0: Zanskar Sumdo
                                      
Cloudy mountains and our first 'hotel' there in the background. 

Day 1: Ready to roll.


Mum's first crossing of the dreaded Rickety Bridge, of which there were more to come over the course of our hike.
