How Ladakh Is Battling ‘Hidden Hunger’ - https://www.indiaspend.com/health/how-ladakh-is-battling-hidden-hunger-931420 sad to see; I still regret not being able to visit #Ladakh when I was in #kashmir many years ago - https://moodysbnn.blogspot.com/2020/07/1986-india-kashmir.html #ClimateCrisis
How does one even begin to make sense of this sign? Chop suey letters (https://laughingsquid.com/chop-suey-font/) to spell out the name of a Hindu god. A bird for an “S” — don’t miss it backward claws. And all this for a tailor who specialises in women’s clothing.

A snow leopard chasing prey in the Himalayan mountains of Ladakh - more (and why I was disappointed with my photos) on my blog: https://theflore.com/blog-posts/2023/12/08/ladakh-snow-leopard

Of the various landscapes we were passing through, during the 11-days trek I led in Ladakh recently, this place is one of my favourite and it is quite unique. Shillakong, the Shilla River Valley – one of a few spectacular, deep and narrow gorges found in the Zanskar Range of the Himalayas.
