As we enter Kaza region, you get this valley view with the Spiti river running through, at the end of which you get a glimpse of the snowed out peak of Manirang.

Now, that's a beauty... The @royalenfield #Hunter350 in flesh.

The streets are waiting. Few hours to #AShotOfMotorcycling#RoyalEnfield #RidePure #PureMotorcycling
Post Manali, the plan was originally to head to Purne. But the mighty ShinkuLa had other plans. By the time we tanked up at Tandi and entered Jispa, we could figure that ShinkuLa side was barely visible. It was already noon. Asked a few knowledgeable locals and we decided to stay back in Gemur and attempt ShinkuLa early next morning. Next day the sun god blessed us and we had a nice ride up to the pass and we crossed over without much effort. There was slight snowing and getting down the other side into Zanskar Valley was a whole different story. Steep inclines, water crossings and slush.
Days when he insists to be carried around the house.
Tatooine, where I'm yet to find Jabba the Hutt.

Windmills have always been a fascination.
We build too many walls and not enough bridges.
Zanskar Valley is one of the most isolated sections of Ladakh. Totally disconnected during the winters. Accessible during summers through sections like these.
Starry Starry Night
Nothing can match the mighty mountains up north. But for now, this is good.
Surreal would be an understatement
Spiti was a sudden plan I made while riding through Zanskar, and I'm glad I did it. I plan to return, soon enough. With snow chains. Definitely, may be!
The shadow play in the mountains are just....
I am still having withdrawals of my ride across Zanskar & Spiti.
The narrows are slowly becoming one of my favorite features of the mighty mountains.
There were two gentlemen, 20-25 years older than me, riding with us thru the Zanskar circuit. I can only hope to keep up the energy and the enthusiasm for motorcycle travel when I'm 60+
