Why din't you take your CL500??

" It took us almost an hour to only get the stuff billed!!"

Nice Pics. We been to kashmir in december last year and i must tell you in summer the place looks even more beautiful as can be seen in your pics. Keep it coming bro

Awesome pictures bro and nicely explained...
The every next threat i see increase my hunger to go there.....

Well, because I didn't had it then To be honest, my friends were not game for a bike trip (too scared) and I was deperate to go to Ladakh so agreed to whatever option was feasible at that moment. Now that I've been there, my desire to do this trip on a bike has multiplied by 100. In an year or two, i'll do this on my CL500, like it should have been in the first place.

It was my first time too and the moment you cross Jawahar Tunnel and get to look at the faraway snow clad mountains, it's just a totally amazing feeling. IMO it's just too much beauty to be absorbed

Go man go...this journey will change you
