Meadow of Gold


Sonamarg, Kashmir in Autumn. Sonamarg means Gold Meadow and is located on the road to Ladakh

It’s bloody freezing in India currently, North India is like below zero, which is rare. Pune itself in Western India near Mumbai, where we’re at now, is I think about 10 in the morning. Kashmir, will well be below freezing, all white and snowing. Just 2 weeks ago, many were stranded in Kashmir due to snowfall blocking the highway connecting it to the rest of India.

Anyway, here’s Kashmir in gentler times (Autumn 2007)

Anu on the main road between Srinagar and Zoji La, the pass crossing the Himalayas to Ladakh. The pass is cut off in winter.
