Sonamarg
Less than two weeks ago we were in a desert in Rajasthan. Today we are at Sonmarg. There is snow all around us. The road has just been cleared. But most of the shops are still closed because they are under snow. there is a 20/25 ft snow wall along the road, which is almost completely broken and very slippery. There is still no electricity, no water supply. Water is being brought from ganderbal 20 kms away. The Sonmarg village is under snow and people are yet to return. It is very cold here. It looks like a devastated ghost town.
We had to drop our plan to visit Ladakh. The army did not allow us to go beyond Sonmarg because avalanches and landslides are happening all the time.

What visuals! Amazing! Difficult to comprehend snowfall in late April!
Got worried for not receiving regular updates, though.
Ride safely.
