Dras / Kargil

On the other side of Zojila pass, is the truck stop of Dras with its makeshift mosque and cheap eateries. Further down, past the war memorial with its unfortunately ramshackle museum and it's dark humour is the one street town of Kargil that is connected during the winter months only to the town of Leh. Life of the frontier is life without chicken, eggs, rice- everything we flatlanders take for granted.
