I hope this letter finds you in the pink of health. It has been a long time since we caught up, I really miss our old days. Last year in summer, I visited Leh Ladhak, India and I think this could be a perfect place for your excursion this year for you because you can have a campfire on the edges of the river while, enjoying the barbecue near the tents. Along with enjoying the beauty of nature, you can have an expedition to the local town museum as well.
