Thanks all.
Sorry for being inactive for long time.Was out of riding because of a misjoined right hand thumb which took forever to heal.Add to it Ill give the common excuse which we give to our friends,insane work pressure for not being in touch.

PS:Good news is I wont stretch the triplog Ill finish it before diwali weekend before I bury myself with more work



Day 6:
Keylong-Pang:

Next days ride had plenty of good vistas......















Was dissappointed to find very little water in suraj Tal.



The presence tent camps in sarchu was almost non existant....most of the people had packed up for the season
Had lunch at Sarchu at one of the tents






Reached Gata loops...










Reached one of the loops where there is small temple types where people make offering for some dead boy.
People had made offering of water bottles,empty beer bottle,cigarrates
This time I had got a chocalate bar to make it.I peeked inside it and was shocked to find a human skull
at the little altar made.....Alrighty the story of someone dying from dehydration over there is true then.






Reached Pang.



Surprisingly it was almost empty of tourists.Went into tent camp.
One of the caretakers commented I was very tough to walk around just in a light sweater and riding solo.........kya kare majburi hai,people drop out.....Gee!! I am a social retard and I like it that way For a minute I felt good and I imagined myself pushing my bike to bike to m-la top all by myself

Had almost 12 hours to kill.
Fished out a novel I had brought along with me and kept reading it till it was daylight.
