at 18380 ft, khardung la is the highest motorable pass in the world. soldiers are posted there for 3 month stretches. boredom probably makes them invite the passing tourists into their sheds. they gave us tea, juice and lots of advice on how to survive at these heights. seen here are ranjit singh from mandsur, madhya pradesh and mukesh chandra from bageda, uttranchal. they said they had had their photographs taken by tourists many times with promises that they would be sent copies but hadn't recieved a single one yet. i have yet to send them these copies as well. day after tomorrow, i promise.
