Photos of trucks

These are pictures of trucks, either on the highway, the ghat or the road. Trucks parked, trucks on the road.  They usually block the complete road, and do not bother to follow directions to keep to the left. Buses also behave in a similar manner as can be seen from the photo. Motorists have a tough time, as overtaking these huge vehicles can become difficult. 

These are not modern trucks, but old models which are frequently seen in developing countries.

Trucks carry huge loads on narrow roads, including dangerous stuff like gas and large things which could roll off and cause accidents!

A high contrast photo of trucks lined up at a petrol station. The petrol pump is lighted up for some reason making it a pretty picture.

This is a picture of trucks with a painted effect. A graphic.

Yaks in Ladakh

Yaks are long haired and the coat is thick to protect them from the cold. It is a type of bovine found in the Himalayas and also in the high altitude regions of Mongolia and Russia. Yaks are heavier than cattle, and have short legs. They have been domesticated. In the wild they are herd animals and the wild yaks are an endangered species.

The yaks in these photos are domesticated animals used to ferry tourists. The pictures are short in Ladakh. This first one is a white coloured yak.

This is a long haired black yak with a saddle for riding.

Lake in Ladakh - Pangong Tso

Pangong Tso is a lake in the Himalayas and these are views of the lake from Ladakh in India. It borders not just India  but also Tibet and China. It freezes in winder although it is saline water. Apparently there is no aquatic life here although presence of  birds is seen. A number of migratory birds come here to nest.

These are photographs of the lake with blue skies as the background. The mountains are silhouetted against the sky and the blue waters of the lake are in the foreground. The first picture can be used as a header, as it is a stitched picture of two images, giving a panoramic view of Pangong Tso lake.

Snow-capped mountains can be seen in the background. A rough stony lake bank.

The water is so clear that the pebbles on the river bed are visible. Gray pebbles.

In this picture of the Ladakh lake the is a lone motorcyclist riding on the banks of the lake.

This is a serene nature scene. The waters of the lake are still. This area is very serene and still

Photos of the mountains of Ladakh

These are photographs of the mountains in Ladakh, which is a region in Jammu and Kashmir, the northernmost state in India. This region has the Kunlun mountain range to its north and the Himalayas to the south of it. Large tracts of Ladakh are a high-altitude desert  but there is vegetation near its lakes and areas where it snows and ofcourse man-made vegetation. 

You can see a road snaking its way across the blue mountains.

A closer look at the slopes of Ladakh. The sparse vegetation on the mountains makes their surface rocky and hard. There is hardly any grass or water nearby.

Some snow-topped mountains in Ladakh with a foreground of trees.

The dusty bare brown mountains of Ladakh. The terrain can be quite harsh.

How to make paan in pictures

Paan is made of different flavourings inside a rolled betel leaf. These flavourings consist of  finely chopped betel nut, slaked lime paste and saffron, spices and gulkand are used. This is considered "a breath freshener, and for better digestion. 

This picture shows a man lathering a paste on to the betel leaf with his hand.

It can be a little messy doing it by one's hand.

A brush can be used too, for hygienic purposes.

Chopped supari or betel nut alongwith condiments and spices is put on the leaf.

The paan is being rolled up to serve customers.
