Rocky, Vinal and Rahul awesome ride there. I read your logs and saw the pics only today, the captures are simply mindblowing.

How about so logs/pics from Vinal and Rahul too?

Kudos to you for riding despite the falls and injuries you had.

Even we took a few shortcuts like you did post Baralacha La as practice for M La. One of the shorts we had to pay heavily

Can't access the video of the Pagal Nallah crosssing from office, but will surely check it out once I get back home. In our time it was pretty tame and could be crossed without any fuss.

We also stayed at the same place in Drass , did you have food in the hotel in front? The seekh kababs he served us was too tasty.

You guys had some really tough weather to go ride thru.

Awesome stuff!

Finally our last ride day of the trip. Today we got really tiered not because of riding. But because of the heat and time we spend in Jammu railwaystation to parcel our bikes.

We went to parcel and got to know about the procedure. While bikes were getting packed (200per bike), I went to clock room to book it. I was asked to take a general ticket. I went back to the ticket counter but they did not give me ticket. they said not ticket. I came back to clock room and said no tickets. Then he said there wil be ticket for sure . I went back this time to a different counter . Again same story. went back to clock room , again he send me back . This this guy said go and book Ist class ticket. Iwent to reservetion counter. I was closed in wroking hours. even after half an hour no one turned up. I went to clook room again he said they must give u ticket for general itself. there is no reason they shouldnt . I thought will try last time , again to a different counter but this time she gave ticket.

And thing is Clock room and ticket counter is 2 building away. I was almost feelign giddiness, was startving like anything and top of that sun was treating us well. Have a look at vinal/rahul.










we went back to room after all those tiering parcel job. Took bath and had Jammu Biriyani . Nextday we flyed back to Bangalore.







The journey ends. Some how the ride was incomplete for me. To conclude the offroading experince was not that great as Hyped by many.Whats make its interesting is the Fantastic views and the scary roads with no barriors.

Some things I cant forget in this trip..

Crossing Pagal Nal

Thrasing my bike in M La - i really enoyed every stone , sand I passed

And ofcouse the reason for this



But for sure I will be back year - for a more relaxed ride , but I promise it will be lot of snow you will see in photographs .
