In the late summer of 1990 a \nsmall group of photographers and travellers set off on what should have \nbeen a very ordinary photographic holiday in Northern India. From Delhi \nthey were to travel by rail to Simla, the old summer capital of British \nIndia, and then onwards to Manali in the green Kulu valley. After a few \ndays in this valley of apple orchards and forests of pine, overlooked by\n high snow-capped mountains, they would return to the plains and then \nfly North to Leh, the capital of the Buddhist region of Ladakh. This \narea, although part of India, in inhabited by people of Tibetan descent \nand is Tibetan in culture. Ladakh, once known as Middle Tibet, is \nperhaps the nearest we can get to what Tibet might have been like today,\n were it not for the Chinese invasion and occupation of that unhappy \ncountry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately plans can alter. A heavy, late monsoon, coupled with student unrest meant that the party was, in effect, stranded in Kulu with no way to Leh, bar one. This way was the spectacular Manali-Leh Highway, a military road through some of the most barren country in the world and which crosses passes of 17,500 feet. The story of this journey, passing through high mountain regions with strange names like Lahoul, Rupshu and Spiti, and our safe arrival in Leh, with it’s Shangri-La atmosphere, make a fitting climax to this story of a wonderful holiday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
