Sonamarg, une autre station de ski à 80km nord-est de Srinagar.
Il pleuvait hélas quand on est arrivés.
Sonamarg 2730m, another ski station 80km northeast of Srinagar.
It was raining unfortunately when we got there.
Qu'importe le mauvais temps frigorifique, on va tous faire la promenade en poney jusqu'au glacier de Thajiwas. Il faut 45min, c'est très possible à pied aussi.C'est parti!
Never mind the freezing rain, we all go to the Thajiwas glacier. A 45min pony ride, very feasible on foot too.
Off we go!
Le paysage est époustouflant.Les poneys connaissent bien le chemin mais pas facile de prendre des photos!
Une promenade à pied serait mieux en fait.
The scenery is breathtaking.
The ponys know the trail very well but not so easy to take pictures!
I'd rather walk on foot actually.
Les poneys sont contents de se reposer et d'aller brouter.
Here we come.
The ponys are happy to rest and eat grass.
Il caille, mais on oublie tout devant la beauté du paysage.
Impressionnant glacier.
It is freezing but doesn't matter since the scenery is so beautiful.
Impressive glacier.
On ne se croirait presque pas en Inde.
We almost forget we are in India.
Again, soldiers everywhere! To protect tourists probably, after the April terrorist attack by a Muslim group that caused 26 deaths in the area.
The next morning, surprise, white snow everywhere!
Beautiful! Except that our drivers are having headaches since the road to Kargil is now closed. We can only wait for snowplows to do their job.
Et oui, ils sont partout.
So are the stray dogs. They are everywhere.
On a même reperé des chiots qui nous espionnent de loin. Trop mignons.We also spotted puppies spying on us.
Too cute.
122km jusqu'à Kargil.
By noon, finally, green light to hit the road.
122km to Kargil.
Tout le monde conduit très vite, on se croirait aux 24heures du Mans.
On mettra 4 heures.
Typical scenery on the road to Kargil.
Everybody seems like racing.
4 hrs to get to Kargil.
On commence à voir des bases militaires. Il y en aura de plus en plus à mesure qu'on entre au Ladakh, où des disputes territoriales existent avec le Pakistan ou la Chine.
At Zojila pass 3580m.
First military bases showing up. There will be more and more as we enter Ladakh, where territorial disputes exist with Pakistan and China.
