Hi friends,
I reached Sachu in the late afternoon and this was where I stayed over for a night.
The sky was spectacular in the afternoon but the night was too cold for me.

Nice sky

I stayed at the green tent

wonderful shots. i also feel the blue is a bit too much. In the first shot the clouds have a bit of blue fringe and the stones on the right corner of road is also blue (not sure if it was like that only).

thanks for sharing. waiting for more ..

Oh! So you stayed at Sarchu...At close to 14500 ft its pretty high and non acclamatized people may land up with AMS...hope you were fine.

These are awesome pics of the camp...can we have some details about this site....tarrifs included.

Thanks Deepak for your feedback and comment. I was awe by the blue and cloud when I took this pix.

One possible reason of the vivid blue could be due to the "Vivid" selection I had selected on my Nikon camera.
I double check on the "Blue" you guys mentioned .
Below is the link, Click on the link and double click on the pix to see the bigger version.

Thanks Pushpinder and Jatin for your comment
One of my friends suffered from ASM in the night and was unable to take his breakfast the next morning.
He is a super fit guy but he forgot to slow down when he reached Sachu.
He was overjoyed with the beautiful weather and scenery that he walked very fast to explore this place.

We booked our accommodation from www.antrek.co.in and were charged 800 rupee per person /night ( with breakfast ).
I'm not sure whether this is a good price; we also booked a 4 wheel from the same co to travel from Delhi Airport
to Manali, Kelong, sachu and Leh.

Stan - Just would like to correct the name pf the place. I have seen the same mistake in your Zenfolio Album.... The place is "Sarchu" not Sachu. There is a "r" before "c". :D
