Adventures in Ladakh


In June, I spent 3 weeks in the Northern Indian province of Ladakh. It was absolutely amazing! Along with about 10 friends, we helped out at the local Lamdon School and experienced the life of the locals, but the main part of the trip was trekking and camping in the Himalayas. The highest point we reached was about 5200m! I honestly had the best time, and it's kind of opened up a whole new adventurous me - one who is excited to backpack (like a real backpacker, none of this 3/4 star bullshit) and travel to more remote places.
As much as I'm a bit obsessed with my wardrobe and everything, I didn't really have that opportunity here, which was a breath of fresh air. I just chucked on the warmest things. The only type of accessorising I had was my 3 beanies, a fluffy North Face one, a colourful Billabong one and a handmade pig beanie... all of which cracked up most of my friends who had pretty boring straight-edged hats.
Oh, almost forgot about my freebie Madonna for Dolce and Gabbana sunglasses... I guess I may have spoken too soon...
