Describing what musn't be described

My friend Sachin said this earlier today about Ladakh and confused me further about my plans in Leh-- (I can't wait!)

"I don't want to impose all my thoughts but it's mind blowing - you can't understand what it is to experience Leh by stand on a temporal plane - you got to be between mountains. If you are going up to Khardung La, you should go past it and stay at Nubra valley in the army camps. The other thing you just can't miss is the Pangong Tso lake - it's mind blowing - can't even describe what that lake is. Even sitting at the Shanti stupa in Leh and looking at all the mountains around makes everything else very, very trivial."
