The first sight of Leh, when coming down from Khardung La.

We reached Leh early in the afternoon. Sunder in Hunder had recommended a Tongspon guest house on Fort Road in Leh, and we spent some time hunting for this place. The place was definitely worth it. The rooms were top quality and quite cheap, the place clean and comfortable and the landlord was very nice and friendly.

We spent the evening walking up and down the market road in Leh. Did I mention that we ran into our cyclist friends yet again! We had an extravagant dinner that evening in Leh, running up the largest single bill of fare on this entire trip.
