Making a local connection India

Going through in between the mountains, leh was in itself a heaven we were in. The mountainous roads, the heavenly clouds and our lovely travel guide. His choice of songs bonded my family and him very nicely. Knowing about the local culture, the customs, beliefs and also about the threats faced in this heaven, made us a family. The connection was so family like that every week on a Saturday we call Aashiqbhai to make sure he is fine in these times of riots in Jammu Kashmir. Indeed, family you choose is always one of a kind when it’s made while travelling.
