Bawa's bike needs TLC - and luckily RE has opened a service centre in Leh
We check out monasteries around Leh while bikes are being repaired
After invaders got too close to his capital, the king of Leh shifted his residence to this faraway location in Stok
Now the royal family till lives here at Stok Palace, but half of it is a museum
The next day we leave for Khardungla and Nubra valley
Looking down at Leh valley
Steeds at rest
And here we are again at the highest motorable road in the world - Khardungla pass
Lots of tourists come here for the snaps
The height is supposed to be 5600 mts, but my protrek is showing only 5155. The watch must be wrong :)
Some name meanings.... Siachen means 'place of roses'...how ironic
Those road builders were real supermen. Imagine building roads here with ancient equipment and no technology
After crossing Khardungla we enter the beautiful Nubra valley
I am entranced
Amazing views
Our friends - the Armed forces
Himalayan deserts in the evening.
