Peakbagging Ladakh
After the amazing success of Peakbagging Ladakh Season 01, I was aiming to do a lot more trekking peaks in Ladakh. However, due to bad weather, I had to keep coming back to the base villages. I experienced snow and hail on peaks with no clear skies. So, I was able to bag a few peaks, and I am glad I summited Mt. Chalung (6546 m).
