Let me share my childhood days experience in my stays at my god father’s homestead in Balik Pulau hills.

Whether I have been there or not is immaterial. Its whether I have been to and experience such area of life and tales of Ladakh is just like anywhere else of a remote country which most urbanite will think that it is slow and easy but in reality a struggle.
