Khardungla:

Ladakh teaches us many lessons in its own way,
a few make us better riders … and others are worldly.


We(me and Akash) were ready to ride to the worlds highest motorable road in the world as they call it... Khardung-la.
From there ahead we decided to explore Nubra valley.
We wanted to cross khardungla and reach Nubra in first half of the day itself, the reason was simple we wanted to avoid water crossings
and we knew that if we delay our ride then Sun will rise and with every passing hour snow will start melting thus increasing the force of water in crossings.

At 7 in the morning we were on the road.
(after snoozing the alarm a few more times then desired)

It was a clear sky.

Akash was riding faster and I was all involved in pictures, I didn’t realize when I was left long behind.
There was ice-ice everywhere.

Some 30 kms before khardungla my bike got stuck in snow, rear wheel was spinning and bike was sinking further down. I was getting enervated.
and was way too tired to pull it alone.
That was the time when I felt Akash’t need but he wasn’t anywhere around.

I left the bike on stand and went to bring some pebbles.
I thought maybe if I put these pebbles underneath my rear tyre that will avoid wheel spin, thus bike will come out.
But I was wrong. Pebbles gave-up to the spinning wheel.

I was damm tired, didn’t try any further.
Fell on snow and … … RelaxeD

It was a very nice feeling, though my gloves, socks and jeans were wet, but I was loving the feeling... Feeling of being on Top of the World
I was wearing my helmet and I could listen to my breath that was running a little louder, was left stuck there for some 1 and a half hour.

Then came a cabbie, with him came two of his passengers, seeing them coming I picked myself up from the ground
and with their help I took the bike out of the snow.
That was the point I felt I should have been with a group, doing it solo can turn risky at times.

I started riding ahead.
Customary shot. Khardungla.

Crossed Khardungla and saw a place where a few horses were gazing.
I was way too tired to ride ahead. Decided to take a nap.
