We are on our way to Srinagar. Behind every mountain and after each curve the landscape changes en route between Leh and Kashmir. From an American route 66 feel to old-crinkled-skin mountains (called The Elephant Hide) or sandcoloured mountains with a hidden oasis in between. Even on an 8-hour drive you never get bored, because every ten seconds, left, right and in front of me something new arises.
