We stayed near Kargil for two days, partly waiting for a route for the Aryan village to open up and partly because we were in love with the beauty and tranquilly of Apati, the village near which we had camped. During our stay there, we got a priceless opportunity to peek into the lives of the people of Apati and also to interact with them and share some of our experiences. Part of the result were some great portraits that we are going to cherish for a long time …
Met this very cute kid named Muzammin in the Kargil Market. His father owns a shop there and the kid was having a good time there. Took permission from his father to take his photograph and then bought a chocolate from his own shop to give to him 😛

His was the last significant photograph that we took. As we went down the hill towards the Maitreya Buddha, he invited us to come to his barn and showed us around. A very amiable old man with an honest disposition, we had a group photo taken with him 🙂
