introduction to the land and its people. At one step as you
cross the Zoji-la, you pass from the lushness of Kashmir into
the bare uncompromising contours of a trans-Himalayan
landscape. Drass, the first major village over the pass,
inhabited by a population of mixed Kashmiri and Dard origins,
has the local reputation of being the second coldest permanent
inhabited spot in the world. But in summer when the pass is
open and the tourists are going though, the standing crops and
clumps of willow give it a gently, smiling look. On departure
from Kargil, the road plunges into the ridges and valley of
the Zanskar range over a huge mound of alluvium, now made
fertile by a huge irrigation scheme.
