The route, in photographs.
The peak and its lake, the ॐ in the snow, the valleys and the people who run the road. Every frame carries the name of what it shows, because on this site a label is a claim.

The faces here appear with written consent, named the way they want to be named. A few wide frames show the valley around a road town rather than the town itself; they carry the same names the route map uses, and our own frames replace them season by season.
Shoot it yourself.
Approved shoots travel free: your stays and travel on the route are covered. You bring the craft, we bring the road.
