Your pictures are amazing. You have taken special care of surroundings while clicking and it needs lot of patienceclap:.

:OTHow was your Spain trip? You should have stayed back till their world cup win. We had a meeting in Paris few weeks back and we concluded much before 3:30 PM so that our Spaniard colleagues could watch soccer. The guys were quite confident that they would win the WC. The grin on the faces of our French colleagues was to be seen. As the discussion was not about cricket, I played neutral.

Thanks buddy, Spain trip was great, except that I did a goof up on Duration of stay in Visa and overstayed, because too many multiple things I was handling, and was in deep trouble for a day, at end resolved involving a Spanish lawyer.

Football is a religion is Spain, and the irony is Spain team was staying in the same hotel for welcome and press conferences, where I was staying two days after I left Spain

Absolute last set remaining :)

@Bharat - Lovely sets of pics that have been coming up in the last few pages. Oh!!! yes, Thanks to you too for sharing the pics & patiently answering my questions :D

Edit - Oh!!! another one - Did you have to manage any oil changes with SX4? Some light on it is appreciated. Also how did the Safari cope up? I was reading on a different thread that it takes few crankings for Safari to startup on high altitudes, any info on that is highly appreciated.

This safari is one of the few 3.0 Liter Dicor version. Performed superb. No cranking issue anywhere at all.

BTW, one funny incident, I had friends from different circle met in Leh, and coincidentally, From Tata Motors, Bosch, Hero Honda and Hyundai :D

I am so sad to see the last set being posted. But I must thank you for taking out the precious time and sharing this experience with us. There are so many Leh-Ladakh posts running simultaneously. IMO your thread provided one of the best pics and proved (if someone had doubts) that a sedan can do a Leh-Ladakh trip. Believe me lots of people have this doubt.

Hi Rk,

I second to what Taureanbull has said. Some of the best snaps of Leh and Ladakh are from this travelogue and I really liked the snap of SX4 with all the ruggedness covered in one of the last snaps. Superb one.clap:

Again, thanks for sharing your experiences with us.

Rajiv, you own some garage? I though you work at IBM. Did you carry all that stuff to Leh? How:Shockked:? I understand that Desire has nice big trunk but still................

Garage will be better option out of two :D

All that was carried in SX4, with 3 huge trekking backpacks, 2 blankets, five 2 ltrs water bottles, and many many more stuff :).

I will try to find the pic of boot fully packed
