Leh Trip - Day 2

With only 2 hours of sleep and a major hangover, i reached the airport at 4.30AM to take the 5.45AM flight to Leh. Air India sucks and so does every hostess. They don't have manners and courtesy. I am sad i pay taxes for these people to give such a pathetic service.

Anyway, Landed in Leh at 7.30AM. the cabin temperature was set to a normal 25 Deg. As we got out after landing, we were informed that the outside temperature was -4 deg. Stepped out of the plane to witness the first snowfall of the season. It was an enthralling feeling. I saw snow after 20 years. The tiny flakes of snow touching your skin with a painless prick and melting into an invisible tiny droplet before even your eyes wink. Everyone were appraising the flight commander, Capt. Ajit Singh's flying capabilities as very few have landed in Leh in such extreme conditions.

We waited at the airport for a while before we were picked up to our hotel, a few minutes drive from the airport. We met the owner of the hotel and we realized that he had traveled with us on the same flight here. Mr. Tashi Motup was a very nice man and extended his warm welcome to us. A hot cup of tea and the rest of the day would be spent acclimatising to the weather and thin air. Although, Anu did play a while in the Snow before hitting the sack.

Sleep is all what we did... A good trip lay ahead!!!
