Another step towards Leh

Getting ready for Leh (Ladakh)- A pre trip video

Right before the trip we thought that it would be really cool if we record the entire journey not only for us but also for the people who are crazy like us (for Ladakh).

So, here we are taking the first step and doing our first amateur video… Share it with people you think will be really interested.
