Tushita at Jispa ,2005




I was working with National Manuscripts in Ladakh and visiting monasteries to do the documentation of the old manuscripts written on hand made paper , few of them written in Gold & Silver. I left the job and started thinking of doing something in the field of tourism. At that period my friend Gombo was in Goa pursuing his hotel management course. When I contact him on phone about my planning he agreed and left Goa. In a few days we decided to set up a camp. Place.......Jispa or Sarchu? We agreed upon Jispa and started working. We were late and it was only in the month of July that we pitched our tents at Jispa. We had no bookings. We were raw in the field but we undertook our journey. Our first client was Mr. Gopi , a software engineer from Bangalore. He was all alone on his Royal Enfield . One fine evening Mr. Subash came and booked all our tents . Our camp got lively and we got busy chatting with the Dutch students going for the Marka Trek in Ladakh. This is in Tushita Camps at Jispa .*
