    saw the enlarged version… nice… the hills around the river… why do they look barren? how was the weather there when it was taken?

    Rocksea, Spiti and the Ladakh regions are cold desserts hence this bleak landscape. We were there in June and day time is quite OK. Since we would trek in fact day felt warm but nights are cold. On this trek we were lucky to have a bit of cloud cover so the days too were pleasant.

    Thanks for that observation Shrinidhi.BB, I travel with my family mostly husband, nephews and only occassionally alone. But Ladakh and Spiti can be one alone.

    Savage Garden, thanks for stopping by. I would say let the kid grow up a little more. Though I have seen kids in the region, I would say take him when he can remember something. Till then places that are closer and do not involve such high altitude would be a better bet.

    Are most rivers in this region are muddy? I remember Zanskar/Indus confluence at Nimmu. One was dirty (color-wise) and other dirtier 🙂
