Icing on the Lakes is a project to document multiple lakes in the Changthang region in Ladakh in their frozen state. In winter the Changthang area, at 5,000m, is not accessible by vehicle and the only option is to trek in temperatures hitting -48 deg at night. Travelling solo with a 17kg backpack Sankar Sridhar would end up doing treks extending upto 12 days, going deeper and deeper into the Changthang. The reward for taking on this challenge has been to return with incredible stories and images, which we all have not only never seen but may also never imagined.
Sridhar is a director with MWG, a content management solutions company and spends much of his free time and earnings pursuing his long-term projects to document communities within their natural environments, making friends and collecting a trove of stories and experiences along the way.
Over the more than past two decades, he has travelled extensively with the Changpa, Gaddi, Bakarwal, Rabari and Fakirani communities and trekked extensively in Ladakh, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand and the hinterlands of Gujarat and Rajasthan. His stunning images have won him multiple international Photography awards, and published in more than 20 international & national magazines and newspapers.
