In short, this is a Kesari of Ladakh! But enough about India! Here, is the detailed information about China. China is the biggest superpower in Asia if not in the world. They have everything. They have technology, money & people. In short, China is powerful and nobody messes with it. Not even the USA & not even Russia. We have a bully constantly eyeing our land. In 1962, China wanted to teach India a lesson. May be it has something to do with Tibet........ And the HH Dalai Lama taking refuge in India! This is our independent India........ This part of Jammu and Kashmir was already taken away by our beloved neighbours. And China's troops were marching in from here. The problem is India never expected that China would attack. But How long could we be? On 18th November 1962 6,000 Chinese troops entered Rezangla a mountain pass just a little ahead of everyone's favourite Pangong lake. it was winter time with sub zero temperature. No air support, No artillery support Not ev...
Why Plastic is destroying Ladakh?
Don't visit Ladakh, I'm so sorry to say this but don't come to Ladakh. Cancel your flights. Keep your bullet in the garage because we cannot respect Ladakh.
Ladakh is beautiful. Because this is what we see in the picture; whereas in reality :
To get LEH'D,
Why do we need to screw Ladakh?
Ladakh is a high-altitude cold desert. It's an extreme terrain which is cut off from the country for 8 months/ year. In the remaining 4 months a lot of tourists come here and buy a lot. I mean A Lot!!
The population of Ladakh is 2.5 lacs.Whereas in 2018, 2.5 lakh tourist visited this place that's double the population in such a short while. All of these resources food, water, electricity are split between all this extra people and our pressure comes on this place and the people over here.
Let's do one thing...
Let's make a deal...
Come to Ladakh but don't bring your city life with you, Our use and throw lifestyle won't work over here.
Did you know?
30000 plastic bottles get dumped everyday in Ladakh? All of our trash comes and accumulates over here. And what are they going to do with so much plastic ?
Either it ends up in a landfill .....
Or it's burnt and goes into the lungs of the people giving them cancer.
Why should they suffer?
Because, we are lazy to take back the plastic with us.
The question is what can we do......
Let's do one thing...
Let's make a deal...
Come to Ladakh but take the trash with you.
This is what I am gonna do. I am gonna carry a bag with me. If I eat biscuits I am gonna take the wraaper with me.
Eating Maggi is so cool in the mountains. But if I can take a picture like this I can also take the wrapper from the kitchen.
Now you will think, I collected the wrappers, I didn't throw away the bottle. What now? This is where bottle bricks come in. A GROW has avery creative way of dealing with the waste problem in Ladakh. They have drop off points. And the last day of your trip come over here and drop off all your treasure here.
It's a used plastic bottle full of plastic trash and this can be used as a BRICK !
Don't just throw away your plastic bottle and trans. Use it to solve this plastic problem!
Want more?
1: Don't use wet wipes. Tissues are bad. But chemical tissues are the worst.
2: Ladies don't come to Ladakh when you're on your periods. Your pads take a long time to decompose in soil and they'll pollute the soil over here. Use a menstrual Cup or go to your doctor and take pills to delay your periods.
3: Use mater mindfully. Ladakh gets only 10 to 15 days of rainfall in a year. If we take away all the water then what will happen to these locals?
Reuse your water. Don't have a bath everyday. Use a dry toilet. Do anything to save water!
Let's do one thing...
Let's make a deal...
Let's make sure Ladakh remix as beautiful it is today even tomorrow.
Look you can come to Ladakh....
It's beautiful and the people over here are beautiful tourism helps them make a living.
LOOK,
I'm not expecting all of you to cancel your Ladakh trips. No! but even one of you makes a promise of being a little more responsible to the mountains then its 'DONE'.
I think this blog post can successfully done because if one done this day who cares? But if one and all will done then it will be more worthy.
LADAKH IS OURS!
TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY THANK YOU.
