Default Against The Wind
Three years after I had included the region in my must-ride, the dream to ride through Spiti was fulfilled during the week of 6th to 14th June '09. The photoblog is the only thing I can present to the members as priorities in life shift with the change of altitude.

Day 1 - Delhi to Rampur

Crossed Shimla and Theog and before Narkanda



Towering Over Satluj at Rampur





Day 2 - Rampur to Nako

Past the worst stretch of the Baspa Hydroelectricity mess - enchanting views all around called for a break





With the flow after Peo





Entering the Roopa Valley..before Spello



Nako - My stop for the night







The Silver Lining



Day 3 at daybreak - In Nako





Left her behind





Top Gun



"Down down ninety degrees" - ACDC



Thats where I wanna go



and thats where I went



Day 3 - Hurling and the way







Tabo





Tabo Gompa - Oldest in Spiti at 1014 years













Thats brave eh



Tabo Nights





Day 4 - Back on the road







Up Yours




Day 4 - On the winding road up



Leaving the Valley Below



The confluence of Spiti and Pin rivers



The 1000 year old clifftop gompa of Dhankar



The path



The Dhankar hamlet



Day 4 - Dhankar from the Gompa Rooftop





Khoko



Head turners all around





Bird's eye view - Pin and Spiti river confluence



Inside Pin Valley ahoy!







Day 4 - Pin Up from the Pin Valley



Back from the Guling Gompa





Pin River alongside





Exclusive - A herd of Himalayan Rock Ibex in Pin Valley



With a promise to be back again..adios



A break while speeding to Kaza



Kaza



More to come..

Cheers,
Shamik
