Looking at the photo above Urban Life seems so far away. And you could not be more correct. This scenery is from the north of India,
Ladakh, and mountain above 6000 m.
The landscape is spectacular and starting point for tracking may be the largest city
Leh and you may visit the town Shey that has the old summer palace of the Ladakh kings, or the Thikse Monastery. Leh is at an altitude of 3,500 meters (11,483ft), and to be able to reach 6,000 m several days are needed to get used to the high.
Ladakh is mainly influenced by Buddhist Culture and the
Bhavacakra (Wheel of Life) is painted outside the monastery .
Tracking is walking, climbing, moving to higher altitude in cooperation with your body´s internal systems. Several days are needed for the last approach to 6000.
The young students from UWCSEA has changed from their school uniforms t-shirts and shorts in the hot and humid Singapore to fleece and overcoats. My daughter Rikke utmost right was only 15 years on this fantastic adventure.
As a Norwegian, the teachers asked Rikke to be in front making pathway in the snow and she made it. At the summit she was so tired that she fell asleep after 5 hours climbing. Only 9 teachers and students (including Rikke and Olivia) reached the altitude of 6000. Congratulation to all.
This post is dedicated to all the persons presently tracking in the Norwegian Mountains, and particularly to my sister Brit who is visiting
Tafjord Mountains and can experience the nature like

One sometimes thinks the mountains of Norway are very remote and difficult but compared to the Himalayas they are mere modest hills.
