along the way to drass the guys were sitting on the road& had blocked it & one was flashing a torch at the vehicle's number plates,they did let our tavera pass after banging it too, the driver now had company & we set of for drass, cracking jokes. sid commented that how will the rest of the guys spend the night in kargil,i told him that Mr. saini is a brave man ,after 1 hour of driving the driver slowed down to let a convoy pass we were going quite fast, soon we saw a vehicle overtake us , doing 110 kmph, Its Mr. saini in the scorpio ,said sid, hahaha, we all had a mighty laugh that night, that lasted for quite some time, the driver laughed too, hahahha
our driver wanted to drive the whole night,& cover maximum distance, Mr. saini & we met at drass .we set of for srinagar at 12 am & they decided to stay at drass .we had gone another 90 or so kms, where a police man halted us at one of the check posts,& told us that he had received a call from drass police station, about us, he ordered us to return to drass & report to the SHO at drass , he told us that no vehicle is allowed to go beyond drass after 6 pm,there we saw 200 or more trucks parked,we didnt go back , parked our tavera behind a truck & slept in it.at 5 am in the morning the trucks roared in tandem, & we set off for srinagar & beyond.............that night we reached jalandhar at 11 pm.I drove the scorpio most of the way, leh was really something special, that can let your adrenaline flow,I plan to go their next year, in my own jeep, mm550.my friends made it sure that the adventure was maximized at all times ,what they did was to drink like maniacs during the night & set off for nubra/pangong at 11.30 am or so, we were usually the last vehicle at the permit check posts, & their we used to lie that we plan to stay there at night,as we had a 2 day permit,we found 1 or 2 local vehicles on our way & none when we came back,& driving alone is rael fun, at the permit check posts when we reported that we are back, the policeman shouted at us that this is no time to drive back to leh , Mr. saini used to say politely that every single tent was occupied there sir.....hahahaha.
