In the fourth episode of our mini-series, we explore #ladakh to our hearts' content. After a briefing session provided by the trip captain, we embark on our journey in our tempo travelers while some of our fellow adventure enthusiasts who opted for a #biketrip ride away on their two-wheelers.

Our first stop was The Hall of fame. A war memorial dedicated majorly to the #Kargil war that occurred in 1999, The hall of fame is run by the Indian army and houses weapons, historical exhibits, and souvenir shops. We were also given insights into what the war entailed and how operation Vijay became a success all those years ago.

Afterward, we paid our respects at the Gurudwara Pathar Sahib where we also learned the local legend of a demon and how he attacked the Sikh Guru, Guru Nanak Sahib with a boulder who was meditating at that time. The rock, as if made of wax, turned soft and couldn’t cause any harm. That boulder is present on the premise of the gurdwara and many devotees come here to worship.

Ladakh is, first and foremost, a paradise for adventurers and our next stop was the perfect way for us to get the adrenaline pumping through our veins. The confluence of the #Indus and #Zanskar river, locally known as Sangam is the world's highest rafting point and so we grabbed our oars and paddles and went into the river to face all the rapids the river had to offer..
