Just before Rohtang Pass - Clicked this with stone fingers, numb from riding in the early morning chilly rain |
Rohtang Pass : Gateway to lahaul valley |
View of the valley we left behind |
View of the trucks down below |
A truck floated in Beas as we rode the parallel road |
The road we rode |
The View we saw |
The mountains who saw us |
As the Clouds played hide n seek with them |
Leaving Keylong behind |
Reaching the broken bridge at Zing Zing Bar |
If our Bullets were jeeps...this is how we would have pushed them! |
Lost all sense of Calender after a day break like this one |
Lost all sense of home after a roof over our heads like this one. (In Bharatpur, a temporary settlement after the Baralacha Pass, you can stay in tents like these only) |
Hit by AMS (Acute mountain sickness) |
Enroute Sarchu |
Coniferous cloud formations ..yeah.. |
They followed us |
We left them behind as we entered the... |
famed 21 Ghata loops as u see |
View above the Loops |
View behind us |
View between us |
View ahead of us |
An etcetra View :-) |
reached Luchlungla... |
and halted at Pang |
In pure company |
She was happy to see her pic on the LCD and I was happy to click her |
Nomads leave as the day breaks |
To higher Altitudes |
To further places |
To eventually reach the Morri Plains. |
Amazing peace (The new Bajaj Avenger AD was shot here..) |
Jaguar Juxtaposition |
Searcing the Tso Morri lake |
Lake was not found. we made do with - cloud show |
but we found Tibetan Wild Asses instead |
Lake in the skies |
Better ...better Still |
Feeling Thankful of these bounties..we prayed here |
Rode again to reach the second highest motorable road in the world |
Where these scenes greated us |
..in this spartan land |
where the tough get going |
..not you Avi!! |
I clicked him and the others just watched this view instead |
Slow motion Life @ Leh |
