13 July 2010 - The weather in Leh is awesome. The team is busy with preparations. We have spent all our time in food purchases, hiring equipment and reporting to local authorities like District Magistrate, Army HQ and the police. There is expectation and excitement in the team as it readies to proceed for the mountains on15 July via Kargil. Tangole will be the last road head.

The moment I can, I’ll post details of my team – which I am certain will be of considerable interest to you. For the moment, I am signing out and will report on our progress once the initial excitement has died down a bit.

Take care

Rupesh Khopade, Team Leader, Nun Expedition
