Of vistas and unique geographical features. Ladakh is more than just mountains and monasteries, it's peace, silence and unique cold desert landscape.

📍Shey Village, Ladakh

Again this procession of the speechless
Bringing me their words
The future woke me with its silence
I join the procession
An open doorway
Speaks for me
Again.
