Mumbai to Ladakh via roads less travelled
The Hindu
A post-lockdown car journey reclaiming the thrills of travel and adventure was an exploration of routes that Google Maps was yet to discover
Picture this: A silver SUV with a Moka pot balanced on its bonnet, bubbling with fresh, hot coffee. A gurgling stream, acres of snowy peaks, fresh mountain air, and no one around for miles. This is literally the middle of nowhere.
Travelling again, after months of lockdown, we were determined to find unexplored roads as we drove from my home in Mumbai to Ladakh: routes that Google Maps is yet to discover. Despite our teeth chattering like castanets, as we battled snow and ice up and down the Shinku-la Pass, our purpose was served: there was not a single soul.
