The Hampta-Pass trek, day 3
In the third day we continued our ascent, through some nice alpine meadows with flowers and goats.
And here are some more valley views. Look at those small goats - aren't they cute???
The Gaddi shepherds are quite nice - they were always willing to pose for my pictures. I should have asked for a 'Model Release' form, but I never
plan ahead.
Check out the third picture here. I should sent it to Microsoft, they can use it as a new Windows XP background picture. Kudos to me.
We finally reached the snow line. Snow is always exciting, even if it was a little dirty...
This campsite was the best campsite we had - located between two small streams. Marcus and Ivana felt a little bad because of the
heights, but Michal and I felt okay (We didn't spend those days in Ladakh for nothing!). We also saw the first nice sunset in
India that evening.
