I’ve recently returned from Ladakh in the Indian Himalayas where I’ve been one of the leaders on a World Challenge expedition with a school from North London. It was a great trip and I was really lucky that I was with an experienced leader who’d been in the area before and two teachers from the school with a lot of energy of enthusiasm. This is a selection of shots I took around the town of Leh and later up at Upshi where we ran a project to renovate a local school. While up in Upshi we took time to make some acclimatisation treks up to around 3800-3900m.
