Across The Singge- La Pass

Wide plains draw

Rays down from wider skies.

The daylight, rising higher,

Burns through thin air to grass;

At night globes of green fire

Float on the pastured pass.

Cold, shivering like a duck

I watch the Eastern sky:

A shooting star brings luck;

A satellite swims by.

The Silver River flows

Event less, through the night.

The moon against the snows

Shines insular and bright.

Here we three, each, alone,

Me, Myself & I

The Singge La (Singge-Lion, La- Mountain Pass) is the pass one has to cross between Photoskar andLingshet during the Lamayaru - Zanskar trek in Leh & Ladakh) walking through the broad and lush Photang valley. A gentle trail leads through this beautiful landscape, where villagers graze their yak/dzo and horses.

One of the most fascinating things about the Zanskar trek is the ever-changing landscape. Every time you turn a corner, or cross a pass, a new world appears in front of you. Passing through the deepest of gorges and meandering through the greenest of fields, the majestic Zanskar River assume a fascinating form and life of its own.
With ever changing colored and the cloud shadows changing with the sun, one never gets bored!
