Do you have Ladakh on the list ? These things will get it on the top!
Ladakh is a land of barren beauty. For those willing to go for the long and treacherous journey, they will experience beauty beyond imagination. You will find tons of pictures on the web for this region, Even I used to be mesmerized with pictures, but when I saw the landscape in front of me, I was completely speechless. Therefore I urge you to go and visit this place and experience it for yourself. Still, I would like to note some experiences of mine which were amazing to poke the wanderer inside you!
