Sadhu rests en route Amarnath, Kashmir, India

Amarnath yatra was our introduction to the ways and lives of sadhus - the holy men.

At campsites we stayed in simple albeit warm tents, with mattresses and blankets. This basic accommodation was too much of a luxury for them. They slept in the open air “sadhu shelters”.
Seeing them, was a study in cutting things down to the basics.
