3. Taglang Pass
Keeping aside minimum 3 days for travel and some three more for getting acclimatized to the 'low-oxygen' levels and cold weather conditions, it would take almost a week to refurbish yourself for the actual tourist-adventure in Leh. Althoug the Border Roads Organization and the Indian Army are always the most challenging and helpful ones while you head towards your journey, it would still be advisable if you get these things clear before the movement:
a. A medical aid box consisting of paracetamol and cetrizine, pills to tackle headache and cold problems and other medicines.
b. Make sure the vehicle-whether its a taxi or your own private vehicle- is well equipped with technical- repair tools in case of any failure.
c. Keep sojourning if you feel sick due to high altitude or keeping taking some 15 to 20 minute breaks as you push higher.
d. Plan your trip only in summers and get all the reservations and bookings done in advance as this will reduce further hassles such as air-travel ticket fare hikes and cancellations later on.
That seems a exiting travel, the suggests seems real, well i don't know a lot about India but i can tell you right now that seems good to go.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your expressions! One thing that I would like to add here is that this is one such place on Indian soil that is closer to an experience of Solace and tranquility.
