 From Lithuania it is most convenient to fly through Istanbul to transfer to Delhi by plane. And to fly from Delhi with local airlines to Leh. In order not to frighten you, I will not describe the condition of local airlines. Upon arrival in Leh, two white mosques are located in the center of the former capital of Ladakh. The streets around them pulse with a silent whisper of Buddhist prayer, Buddhist prayer flags fluttered by the wind, and mingle with the incense smell of air. Right next to the Sunday service, the Christian church is inviting everyone to know and find their place there. Ladakh is probably the only place on earth where there is no antithesis of religions. People of all religions live here amicably.

The locals don't really complain about their lives, although it is very difficult for us to survive there. At first glance, dignified and perhaps as harsh as the nature around them, inside people are warm, welcoming and very easy to communicate with. If you have to spend the night with the locals you will be amazed by their food, although they have little food but will share everything.

What cannot be eaten can be fed to animals and what cannot be used as fuel can be fertilized. The inhabitants of Ladakh stole their clothes until they could no longer be ordered. After all, the worn collar is mixed with mud and used as a dam in the irrigation channels of the fields. In the past, or even now, human droppings were used as fertilizers. The stools were mixed with ash to remove acid and remove odors.
Ladak is burned to death in stone crematoria, and the ashes are later scattered across the mountains. And in the Himalayan highlands, the dead are transported to the Griffith Valley, where they become lunch for the vulture.

Because for many, depleted oxygen starts with mountain sickness. When you reach the peak of the Changlu Pass, you will be greeted by a symbolic stupa and prayer flags. It is one of the highest crossings in the world that can be overcome by vehicles. Once you have reached it, you will feel the most spectacular peak of all your travels. True, tour guide tourists from the lowlands are advised not to stay longer than 20 minutes, but if you are traveling with a local guide who takes you in his jeep and has an oxygen mask, you may be as much as your heart desires.
