Ladakhi Superheros
Written by Pete on September 23rd, 2009
Summary:
Operating at elevations above 18000ft these mysterious superheroes employ their superhuman fashion sense and disbelief in helmets to inspire WTF moments amidst the dreary eyed men working the roof of the world.
High up in the rarefied air of the Ladakhi Himalayas there exists a band of heroes, courageous men and women who spend their day fighting a tireless fight. I’m not referring to the sturdy troops of India’s army who keep vigil over the Kashmir/Pakistan borders, nor am I referring to the superhuman endurance of the road builders splitting rocks by hand and boiling tar in a futile effort to keep passable roads against the overwhelming forces of gravity and erosion.
No this league of superheroes I refer to has taken upon themselves the thankless job of policing good fashion and spreading mirth among the grim and beleaguered men who must protect and maintain the highest road in the world. Operating at elevations above 18000ft these mysterious superheroes employ their superhuman fashion sense and disbelief in helmets to inspire WTF moments amidst the dreary eyed men working the roof of the world.

Can’t you spot the super heros Audry? If anybody should be able to spot a special superhero you should, considering your brother is quite a special superhero.

Only Courtney knows where their secret lair is, but I saw them near Leh. Leh is in Kashmir, the far north of India near the border with Pakistan and China.
