Support Lovely mountain. Wolverine XI 20:31, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
Support Love pictures like this, which make it seem like the road will go directly into the mountain. Also like it when it happens irl. --UnpetitproleX (Talk) 23:02, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

Support Impressive relief with the snow. The road gives the impression that these mountains are very accessible -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:22, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Basile Morin: Padum is reached via the Darcha-Padum road. This runs over the 16,580 ft (5,050 m) Shiko La pass which is closed for 6 months. Tagooty (talk) 13:38, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Tagooty and Basile Morin: It can also be reached via the older road from Kargil over the 4,400 metres high Pensi La pass--which also closes during winter, or via the recently completed, yet to be blacktopped, all-weather road from Leh, which runs right next to the centuries old Chadar trek which was the only means, until this year, of reaching Padum in winter.

- Thanks for the info. My impression is only based on the picture : big road with distant focal point, and then above huge mountains with snow. It gives the feeling that after this road there's a path, and climbing up this path leads to the top. I'm sure it's much more difficult, and that's probably why the picture is interesting. Kind of "direct access to impressive peaks" -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:31, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
