Treasure wrld!

Hobbit - the prelude to famous The lord of the Rings is a mind capturing story of ordinary hobbit living a mediocre ( read boring ) life who undertakes extraordinary journey  for a treasure which he was least interested in !! . Gandalf the wizard spots the hidden talent of hobbit and visions in him a spontaneous, practical burglar who could help the troop of dwarves successfully conquer the treasure hidden in perilous mountains. The way hobbit is poked into taking the journey by Gandalf is interesting - where he is unsure of what he is embarking upon - but slowly he & entire dwarve company realizes the undisputable importance of hobbit in the gameplan.

We are back from there  but still cant stop talking about how miraculous  & acutely different our journey had been - taken in Jul-Sep 2013 Nubra valley was one of our stops from Leh City. On the third day at 6 in morning we started our journey from Leh 11500 feet above the sea - via Khardungla - 18500 feet and to finally reach Nubra Valley- 10000 feet. All this with our cherubic driver Ramzaan sir. Scenes on the way were as usual breathtaking. We had our pics taken up on a slippery ice bed - quite a memory. Journey was full of scenic views. We had stopover for pics and lunch and finally at 2 PM we reached nubra guest house. Here we had a wonderful cozy bed laid out for afternoon sleep. ...
