Stunning 360 Views Of Ladakh : Come, Explore Ladakh Virtually With Me

My 3rd post on #Steemit was about all about Ladakh and gave an insight into why it is not only one of the most beautiful places on Earth but also makes up for an adventurous road-trip - Click here to read that post (its a long one!)

So while you cannot plan and execute a Ladakh trip in a matter of days, you can very well take a little virtual walk into how it looks. My last trip saw me traveling with four other friends turned guests from the city of Mumbai and one of them, Juzer, took stunning 360 degree shots of the landscape. These are high resolution images which give you an insight into how Ladakh looks like. Shall we start then?
