DRASS- the pictureques land of J&K.

While staying at jammu , we got the opportunity to explore the extensive land of J&K and ladakh.... Though , each of the places i had been to across J&K ,has different angle of beauty attached to it in my mind but my most loved travel experience was our visit to Kargil & Drass via Zogilla pass.
Offcourse , Zogila Pass is always a travel enthusiasts dream journey but the extreme beauty is just as one ends their journey across Zogila. The landscape between end of Zogila pass & Drass , mostly known as PANDRASS , is just unexplainable & truely a Jannat.
 The name Drass , itself reminds us of the Kargil War...... the sacrifices of lives of our soldiers....the name Tiger hill ,Tololing peaks, ecos in our mind. I always longed to see this World's 2nd coldest place ie DRASS..... & so ,it came on a platter to me.... I knew the journey is definitely tough but its a memmory to be cherished ever.Zogila Pass drive thru' is beautifully canvased on my lens & whenever I watch those moments on my laptop , I just get shiver ......sometimes, i feel ,I will never again have the courage to traverse that journey again in my life.......I was totally exausted by the time we came to  the end of Zogila Pass..... But now began the extreme beauty of nature................Uff!!!!!just couldnot stop framing each & every angle of the region ,so called Pandrass.....................






What a beautiful landscape , Just mesmerised me .....................& then came Mushko Valley.... Just dont know , who created this unexplainable beauty............ Loved it truely . All my hard efforts to take on the Zogila Pass paid off . 
Mushko Valley.

Its was Drass now,.......................... The War Memmorial was just a treat to be there & may our homage to our brave soldiers who laid down their lives for Our India.
