An Unscheduled Stop

After we left Lamayuru Monastery and headed back towards Leh we were halted on the road for no obvious reason, so we stopped and got out of the car to take a look.

 

And so we waited and then....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Boom, the road was being blasted to widen it.

Everyone looks on after the blast.  The army oversees the work on the roads in the region, hence the presence of the soldiers

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After about half an hour we move on through a rather dusty section of newly blasted road.
