| BHPian  | Leh-Ladakh in my Safari 4x4 -Photologue..July2009 Hello Team-Bhpian's, I am not good at writeup so I just wanna share my pictures of my tour to Leh Ladakh this year in July. It was a total of 3500kms trip . We started form Gurgaon at around 9pm after buying 2 mountain bikes for riding down hill on mountain passes. Put the bikes in rear after folding middle seats. We reached around 6 or 7 am at mandi. Had a 4 hour nap there and reached manali by night. Next day left Manali around 2 pm for Keylong.   Weather at Rohtang Pass was beautiful      Night Stay at Keylong. A water crossing on way from Keylong to Barlachala   Now comes the suraj tal  Our 2nd Pass BARALACHALA, It was the most beautiful pass ,    We did a bit of biking there as we got exhausted in 15 mins,    Reached Sarchu around 6pm and stayed there for night in camp sites,       contd... |

| Senior - BHPian  | Nice pictures there! You must have too much stamina to ride the bike at those heights!  Awaiting rest of the pics. |

| BHPian | At Sarchu we felt a little breathless for the first hour but later on our body got calibrated with it. We did cycling there for around an hour nearby our camp site. Next day woke up at 5 am to leave for Leh, Weather was superb, it was raining.  a weak bridge  And now the Gata Loops,    Took only one short cut there, some short cuts were looking really really steep with lots of gravel , so didnt took any chance. More pics on way to Nakeela Pass,     Tried off roading at LachuLungla, It was really steep, safari started skidding sideways, engaged reverse quickly and safely came down.   contd...

| Senior - BHPian  | Nice pics. Looks like all the people here are heading towards Leh/Ladak. I have read atleast 5 travelogues visitng this region in recent past in this forum. BTW, pls attach/arrange the pics one below another. Otherwise, pics will appear in horizontal direction. People who stay in Northern part are most gifted ones as you are so near to Himalayas and can plan visits. Waiting for more pics to come. Last edited by snaronikar : 16th September 2009 at 15:54. |
