The next day we left early in the morning so as to make it in time for our flights. The environment outside was fast bearing resemblance to a “street” war zone with security personnel gearing up by the road. Luckily we reached the airport in time and without incident.

Soumen, Ajay and Gargi were booked on the earlier SpiceJet Flight and they managed to check in a little before Hansel and Me. By the time we had cleared the long and laborious security check though they had already boarded their flight. Pretty soon it was time for our flight as well and soon I was on my way back to Mumbai from Ladakh carrying with me memories of an enchanting trip to that heaven on the roof of the world
