Hidimba Temple

To visit this place, You can take a 10 - 12 days trip to visit in and around places. If you are from Bangalore board a flight to Delhi, and take an overnight journey to Manali. Since Leh is a high-altitude place, your body needs to get acclimatized first, so stay in Manali for 1-2 days to prevent yourself from getting mountain sickness. Jumping, Jogging, and exercising Are not recommended Until your body gets acclimatized. You can explore Manali by visiting the Hidimba temple built to worship the wife of Bhima, Hidimba Devi. You can wear the attire of their culture and also Get beautiful Pictures of yours And add them to your memories. Then you go to Jogini Falls Which is a 45 minutes trek.

The next day you can visit Jispa in Himachal Pradesh where there is the weather in and around 2 to 3゚C of temperature And wearing Thermals is a must And buy them from their local market where they have the best quality and warmth is unmatchable to any other branded clothes And buying from them also encourages the people For their livelihood You have to witness Atal tunnel on the way from Manali to Jispa which is 9.2 km long which crosses Rohtang pass. Atal tunnel reduces the journey from 5 to 6 hours from Manali to Keylong. through the Atal tunnel, it takes to 45 mins to cover the distance. From Jispa to Leh it takes around 8 hours of journey.

On the way from Leh to Nubra Valley you come across the world's highest motorable pass Kardungla, where you can't stay there for more than 20 minutes because of the low oxygen level. You can also visit the world's highest cafe, standing at an altitude of 18380 feet from sea level. Do not ever miss visiting the river down the Kardungla top. This place is pure bliss and you will thank me later.

Next, you can visit Nubra Valley, which is one of the most unique places where you can find 4 biomes in a single place. Desert, mountains, snowfall, rivers, and meadows. You can find the most unique double-humped camels. In Nubra Valley, You can play archery, get a ride on camels and can play in rivers, sit and relax over the dunes and listen to your favorite music, and witnessing all 4 biomes is one of the best feelings in the world and is the best thing you can gift to yourself. The adventurous things you can do here are you can stay in tents provided there and have a bonfire camp and can have peaceful long night walks.

Next day you can visit the last village in India and the line of control. There was twin village called Pharnu and Thang which was separated during Independence. You should try pancakes made out of buckwheat on the way you should visit the most beautiful village called Turtuk. There you will have guides to provide you with all the information about that village and also provide you with a telescope to have a look at the line of control. You will see cute little kids waving at you on the roads expecting some little helping hands from you, so if possible you can take some educational kits and whatever possible things. You get to hear the heartwrenching stories of the separated families.

The next day you can ride on to Pangong Tso, which is the most beautiful and my favorite place, one should visit to witness this scenic beauty which changes its color 5 times a day. You will be lost in this beauty. It is an amazing place for star gazing and capturing those shots in your eyes. Further visiting the Kargil war memorial is a must. Because of the delay in booking our flights, we could stay in Kashmir for a day in the Dal Lake boat house, Then we visited Adi Shankaracharya temple, the Mughal garden. Shikara is the best and most place to visit there.

conclusion

I love and thank myself to have taken the best decision to visit these places, it was an amazing experience I have ever had in my life so far. I can promise you that you will be a different person after you visit these places where you get to know the lifestyle and culture of those people. It did make a difference in the way I look at my life. Any person will lose his ego standing amidst these tall mountains
