Sarbal, Kashmir, India
Sarbal has been popularised as "the last village of India". It is in fact the last village in Kashmir before the Zoji la that leads to Ladakh.
A precarious looking wooden bridge connects Sarbal to the motor-able road.
A tributary of the river Indus flows through here. It apparently goes all the way into Pakistan.

Gujjar kids from Rajouri district, Sonamarg, Kashmir, India
We met these Gujjar kids on our way to the Thajiwas Glacier in Sonmarg. Gujjars are a nomadic tribe of shepherds who move up to the greener pastures in the hills in the summer. Come winter, they move down to the plains with their entire households and flocks.
Due to this lifestyle, the kids usually miss out on conventional schooling. These kids had attended a nomadic school and as proof, they recited to us the alphabet, numbers and also some song and dance. They were happy to receive chocolates as their reward. Read full story on Kids of the hills
