Off to Leh

Taking the first big personal break in almost 6 years of working life. Never taken at most more than a weekend and that too only started to happen in the last two years. But this time I am off to Leh. This is a full ten day trip which includes the following -

Mumbai - Srinagar (Flight)
Srinagar - Kargil - Leh (By Road with overnight hault at Kargil)
Leh (and lots of places around it for 4 days)
Leh - Jammu (spending a day in Jammu)
Jammu - Mumbai (by Train)

I am trying to make myself feeling excited/ thrilled about it, but haven't been able to succeed so far. May be such feelings will kick in after the journey starts (as happened in the Korigarh trek)). Really looking forward of it to happen. As I want to unwind and abandon myself, at least for a while.

Trek to Korigarh (27 June 2009)

An impromptu trek. My second one till date. Experienced the first rain of the season. Drenched myself and hoped that it would wash away all my blues.
