Leh Ladakh Road Trip with Umingla and Tsomoiri

Are they a hike to be put in with Leh road trips? Leh climbs from 11500 up at once, shoving the rest of humanity into an all gas-covered, eye-popping abstraction of altitude. Things are getting more exciting now as I zip down closed border areas and tackle the highest motorable road on earth, Umling La. It passes through old monastery villages, where the progress of time seems to stall out and ultimately leads me towards the bluest lakes I have ever seen in my life that bring me to a complete standstill. In my experience through these trans-Himalayan corridors, I have realized that the terrain commands respect and those views which can change a life come at the cost of being sternly executed.
