As the new year begins, I am here to tell you about an experience that has solely been the highlight of the year 2021 in my life. My first blog  Ladakh Part 1 from the Ladakh series describes the burst of emotions I felt about the trip. In my heart knew it was a dreamland, but it did not hit me until I reached Leh Airport.  Well, in this blog I shall be telling you the entire process of planning the trip, our itinerary, and how it turned out to be.   Trip planning-  Planning the trip is the most exciting phase because the quest to see the dreamland you always wanted to visit is finally coming true. This trip was the first trip me and my brothers went on with strangers.

My brother’s importance and presence in my life are greater than any other relationship so far. Like every relationship, even this one evolved and as we grew older, I feel currently we are in the best phase of our bond.  Well, all that I am going to write today is entirely based on what I feel about this siblings’ bond and how has it transformed for the better. Let’s begin from the beginning- My brother Mohit is 3 years younger than me. He showed signs of excellence right from the beginning and that has been the same to date. Ever since I understood the real meaning of being siblings, there was never a competition or jealousy, or hard feeling over anything. I would always be the first person to encourage and the first to criticize. But as we started to grow up and entered our teenage phase, things began to distort. I think it was because of the opposite gender and it brought in the difference of choices, opinions, friends, and interests.  Individually both of us were enjoying the new
