          I'd like to thank Ken Da and MG da for tips and support, xbhpian Anshuljain for coming to meet me at Jammu, Chentanchandu2000 and the bangalore guys for staying in touch and exchanging information throughout the ride.

          I started riding from Jammu, rode into Ladakh via zozila and came back via the manali route.

          Posting a few teaser pics for now. I won't post day to day logs. I will share the pictures and accompanying texts in 4/5 parts in which the whole ride was actually divided.



          At Pangong Tso



          Entering Nubra Valley. The Shyok river.



          Moonlandish Lamayaru



          The mighty Chang La, was the toughest for me.



          Moore Plains. It was gloomy and drizzling for the most part for me. Tough stretch.



          Sand dunes of Hunder.



          Duke Gata loop'd!



          The ultimate Bro Code



          The first part, Reaching Leh will be posted soon. Wait for it.

                      Its been a while since I enjoyed a ladakh photo feature. And bike makes it even more interesting...

                      Any HDR approach used?

                        Great courage dude

                        Hello Mr. Banerjee Sir,

                        You have really won my heart with courage to leh'd solo...

                        I also had a duke and wanted to leh'd but doesn't have the courage to go solo my friends to wanted to get leh'd but were not able to make time for it this season.

                        Great pics, it would be great of you if you can provide more picture esp. day wise of your travel along with your leh'd schedule. I would also like to know the preparation / alteration you have done on DUKE for the ride.

                        Also do you had Tso Moriri in your plan. I find many of bikers don't go there and i m very much fascinated by the wildlife over there and wanted to include in my itinerary.
