Himalayan kids , outside of Leh Ladakh, Jammu Kashmir, India.

in a village outside of Leh ( actually closer to Pangong Tso Lake ) I saw these kids playing and I just had to get out and get some pictures…to my surprise the big boy spoke excellent english !

I’ve never seen someone riding a cow actually and he was just the most charming little boy ever.  (of course the tiny little village had their own praying wheel)

City of Leh, Ladakh, Jammu Kashmir, India.

Leh is the capitol of the Leh region in northern India’s Jammu and Kashmir state. Around 32 000 people live here….so being in India its’ a tiny little city…more like a village around here…
