Buddhist Stupas at Hundar – no one could explain the true significance of these Stupas which could be seen all across Ladakh in different sizes
Ancient Buddhist scriptures and prayers engraved on stones scattered all over around the Gompa (Buddhist temple) at Hundar
CAT Supreet trying her hands on the prayer drums albeit a little scared of offending the old Ladakhi lady guarding the place
Magnificent statue of a Buddha incarnation inside the 600 year old Gompa at Hundar. The folk lore says that the future Lama incarnates including the one’s yet to come were painted on the walls centuries ago
Another of the inspiring milestones from Himank BRO
Yet another one of the bright quotes from Himank (BRO)
Trust me it says ‘Mandir’ and not a dwelling of “Mainder” Singh (or even Maninder Singh or Mahinder Singh for that matter!!)
Something to add to your principles of life, courtesy reminder by Himank(BRO)

The impression of Guru Nanak dev ji’s body on the rock thrown by the monster to kill him whilst he was praying for the goodwill of humanity. The legend has it that rock melted like wax upon touching the Guru, leaving the foot and body impressions visible in the picture
Way points to Pangong Tso lake 
The puddle of water which was referred to as The Pangong Tso Lake by CAT Paramjeet and VAT Vasu just to tease CAT Supreet , who was thoroughly disappointed at the view of the so called wonder of Leh
The view which alleviated the mood of CAT Supreet; the first glimpse of the 140kms long Pangong Tso lake at a height of over 14,000ft. All was forgotten and forgiven :-)
CAT Vasu reflecting upon the beautiful reflections offered by the crystal clear clouds in the crystal blue waters underneath 
Mesmerising views providing a moment of tranquillity who perhaps indulged in a spot of finding answers of life enveloped in the sheer beauty that surrounded them
CATS caught on camera by CAT Paramjeet whilst enjoying being caressed by the tiny ripples at the lake
CAT Vasu and CAT Supreet chilling in the freezing waters of the lake
For the record, Pangong Tso is a protected wetland which serves as breeding grounds for so many migratory birds. A lone family spotted by the CATS on their way back

The most poignant moment of our trip. We felt humbled and proud of being an Indian at the same time. Jai Hind
…If I die in the battle zone, put me in a box and send me home,
pin my medals on my chest, tell my mom I did my best ….
