This location cannot be found on maps. In fact most of the photos from the last two weeks are at locations not marked on the maps. Old trekking and hiking routes covered on motorcycles.
Like needing some symmetry, my ride started and ended in heavy rains, foggy all the way from Narkhanda to Pinjore. Some sections so bad that I could hardly see 2 meters ahead of me. What a way to end this epic adventure across Zanskar and Spiti.
Long exposure experiments in mountains always throw a surprise.
UFF-U-MMA!!!
Work in progress... The Gue Mummy will be moved to this structure once it is completed.
Kaza has been nice to me. Brilliant skies. And no camera can do justice to what the naked eye can see. As always, there was a lot of scattered light from the town but got a decent star trail. See this in full screen brightness.
Same Same, But Different!
Hanuma La - the ride upto this pass is a combination of steep slopes and fesh-fesh with rocks hidden under all of it. We saw a few falls and even a camper clutch burning out due to this.
My kind of traffic jams.
Oh, what a view.
I think my favorite section of yesterday's ride was between SirsiLa to Wanla. The deep ravines, and the narrow roads snaking through them along the river.
That's the peak next to the SingeLa pass in the background. What a brilliant ride it has been and @theroyalenfieldhimalayan behaved like it was built for this terrain and altitude. Not a single moment where it gave me jitters or an iota of doubt.
Rode through uncharted territories today. Yes, I'm still in India.
Finally, made it to my favorite mountain, yes, I have a favourite mountain. The mighty Gumbok Rangan, also called the Gonbo Ranjong. Gonbo Rangjon is a stand-alone lofty rocky precipice located in Kargyak village of lungnakZanskar, India in Ladakh region. It is considered to be holy by the local inhabitants who practice Tibetan Buddhism. Gonbo Rangjon lies along the Darcha- Padum Trek route, yes you read that right, a trek route.
There is something mystical about the mountains and motorcycles.
Have not ridden for around two weeks and I'm just itching to get back on the saddle.
@motoslug 's ADV390 trying to cajole me into buying one of it's kind. Will I?
Just love them trails. I'm glad we took that turn @motoslug
The day we went riding tall grass and marshy lands.
2 weeks and counting... It won't be this green, no more.
