The rustic beauty of Rumbak village in Leh

One of the many remote villages in Leh not connected by any road.

Most trekkers would pass by this village enroute to Stok La or Stok Kangri.

A mother carries her baby in a homemade baby-carrier on her back.

Some of the houses also offer homestays. To benefit the entire village, the opportunity to host guests is given to villages on a round-robin basis.

The surreal landscape is to be seen to be believed. In winter, Rumbak is a popular base for photographers and naturalists who come here to spot snow leopards.
