newsroom Scene and Passion Jul 20, 2016 Through the Himalayas in a Cayenne With tours to the world’s most remote places, the Indian organisation “Women Beyond Boundaries” aims to promote self-confidence in women. This particular trip involved 3,500 kilometres through the Himalayas in a Porsche Cayenne. Their route takes them over two of the highest mountain passes in the world: Khardung La and Marsimik La at over 5,500 metres. In 18 days, the founder of “Women Beyond Boundaries” Nidhi Tiwari and her co-driver Neha V. Sadananda cross more than twelve mountain passes. The journey also takes them across the unspoilt landscape of Zanskar and through the off-road region between Nubra and Pangong Tso. They cover the route in a Porsche Cayenne. “Women Beyond Boundaries” has set itself the target of strengthening the position of women in Indian society. Mobility is regarded as a key to greater independence, which is why the organisation initiated the journey through the remote mountain regions.

Best Tourism Place In India Land Of High Passes LEH LADAKH Introduction LADAKH Is Sometimes called 'Little Tibet'.

Capture of Tiger Hill (Op Vijay-1999)
No. 07/2019 AN INDIAN ARMY PUBLICATION July 2019 CAPTURE OF TIGER HILL (OP VIJAY-1999) GRENADIERS was tasked to capture Tiger Hill, one of the prominent features in the Drass Sub-Sector. The initial attack was led by Captain Sachin Nimbalkar and Lieutenant 18Balwan Singh, with a Section of ‘D’ Company and the Ghatak Platoon in a multi directional attack. The team stealthily approached Tiger Hill and took the enemy by surprise. Lieutenant Balwan Singh along with Havildar Madan Lal gallantly led the Section and pressed forward against heavy odds. The Section approached and engaged the Pakistani bunkers on Tiger Hill Top. During this fight Havildar Madan Lal got severe injuries but still continued to press forward. The individual showed extraordinary courage and exemplary junior leadership and was awarded Vir Chakra (Posthumously). Lieutenant Balwan Singh in another outflanking manoeuvre took the enemy by sheer surprise as his team used cliff assault mountaineering skills to reach the top. The officer single handedly killed many Pakistani soldiers, and led his team to the top. For his leadership and unmatched gallantry, Lieutenant Balwan Singh was awarded the Maha Vir Chakra. Another prominent name associated with Tiger hill is Grenadier Yogendra Singh Yadav, who was part of the leading team of Ghatak Platoon tasked to capture Tiger Hill Top. The soldier utterly disregarded his own injury that he sustained due to enemy fire and continued to charge towards the enemy bunkers all the while firing from his rifle. He killed enemy soldiers in close combat and silenced the automatic fire. He sustained multiple bullet injuries and was in critical condition, but refused to be evacuated and continued to attack.

From Wikipedia: The world's highest motorable pass? Khardung La is widely, but incorrectly, believed to be the world's highest motorable pass. There are higher motorable passes at Suge La, west of Lhasa, 5,430 m (17,815 feet), and Semo La 5,565 m (18,258 feet), between Raka and Coqen in Central Tibet. Both these elevations are supported by GPS and SRTM evidence and the latter was also measured by the Catalans and supported by the CIC, see above. Vehicles have been driven over the 5,582 metres (18,314 ft) Marsimik La, in the Indian Karakoram to the north- east of Khardong La, but it is debatable whether this pass should be considered to be motorable. There may be higher motorable passes elsewhere in Tibet, but verification of these has not been possible because of lack of information and restricted access.

1927 Himalayan Letters of Gypsy Davy and Lady Ba
THE HIMALAYAN LETTERS I \\ OF GYPSY DAVY AND LADY BA Written on pilgrimage to the high quiet places among the simple people of an old folk tale INTRODUCTORY LETTER Dear WINIFRED, Gypsies don't write books. But a promise is a promise, even after many years. One of those journeys has been recorded at last,-a safar in the Himalaya, a pilgrimage, revisiting, in some state this time, the high quiet places, letting my lady live in the old folk-tale that life still is among those mountain people. Here's your book. We found it quite as impossible to write the tale for strangers who might not care to hear it, as to tell it properly anywhere but at a fireside with the family sitting round us on the floor. So we have written letters to particular firesides where the families listen that way. We have signed them, as the matter or the correspondent moved us, now with one and now with another of the names we have at various times been dubbed. But the names we like the best are those we had of Dorothy, Cynthia and Rosalind, in that rapturous week of gypsying among Cornish hills, singing the old ballads with the country people, dancing the old dances on village greens. Didn't this "Lady Ba" "put off her silk- finished gown and put on hose of leather 0" and "go with the Gypsy Davy"? Haven't we gone on from year to year, kidnapping likely boys? Haven't we told fortunes truly? Aren't we always trading horses or asses? It's mountain gypsies we are, though, never quite at home save among mountains, with a caravan of ponies or a string of asses at our backs.

BBC Top Gear
Zinio Copy ISSUE 121 ē SEPTEMBER 2015 A couple of months ago, I instagrammed a picture of the Hyundai Santa Fe. The car was parked in the middle of a harvested ﬁeld, and it had some trees for company. And, there were no roads that led to where the Santa Fe was parked. The caption that accompanied the picture? “When you want to get close to trees, it’s best to take an SUV.” There was a time when SUVs were panned for being environmentally-irresponsible. But, is it just me, or has the hatred dimmed? I would like to think so because SUVs are all that manufacturers seem to be making these days. Why? Because an SUV is what you are buying. Small or big, everyday or exotic, it looks like these tall, bulky machines are the things to have. But it isn’t a passing fad, because SUVs are practical and make the automobile a more rounded machine that can conquer a greater variety of roads than an everyday sedan. Isn’t that what we all want from our cars? Despite an onslaught of new models, it hasn’t got too crowded yet. Ford is getting back into the segment, which it has historically dominated, thanks to those massive SUVs and mini-trucks it sells in the USA. Almost a decade ago, India had a short glimpse of its prowess with the Endeavour, “THE KOREANS MAY BE LOSING THE which has since faded into oblivion. But the new Endeavour is just a few months away, and from what we sampled in CONSUMER ELECTRONICS BATTLE Thailand, it is a car to watch for.
