Details

You never have a sense of deja vu in Ladakh.

No place looks the same again. No moment repeats itself here. There is always something new to discover about the land and its people. Birds and animals always surprise you.

A travel handbook on Ladakh is thus best written in a whimsical manner. Postcards from Ladakh is a collection of frames, frozen circa 2009, when the author drove for over 10,000 kms (6,000 miles) in and around Ladakh. It can be a guide to the traveller. And serve as a time capsule for future generations. Neither guidebook nor encyclopedia, it is intended to give a flavour of what Ladakh holds for you.

Ajay Jain has written the book as if he were writing postcards to you from the scene. To share memorable moments, valuable insights. And he has clicked photographs to complement the text. Start reading from any page.

“On a personal note, Ladakh has touched my life in many ways. Its people have reminded me of all the goodness we are born with. Spiritual leaders have inspired me to live a balanced life without necessarily subscribing to religious beliefs. Negotiating the tough terrain has made me seek adventure. Ladakh has made me reflect on my priorities in life,” feels the author.

Ladakh teaches you how to lead a full and happy life. Where are you headed next?
