PROLOGUE
DAY-11 Tawang-Bumla-Madhuri Lake-Zemithang
History was repeating itself in just 6 months, in June i thought Kunzum Top was tough for Impulse at 4590m, but Bumla was another level at 4600m.There were no roads just broken mountain with big boulder size rocks, very very steep turns, elevated. Impulse was out of breath, but this time I was suspecting burnt clutch plates too( which became true at later part of journey), I stopped by a small lake to gulp water, huffing puffing by now , last two turns were very demanding , I had to use my feet to push my bike for ascent, but we both were not giving up , one army jawan waved , smiled, confirmed more two such ascent and you are done ,after that roads are straight ( no ascending ).
Road from Y junction ( one goes to Bumla and other to Madhuri lake ) till Madhuri lake was so horrible, if you think Spiti is tough, Welcome to this part of country, ascent or descent , there is no space on road so full of big rocks to maneuver, offroad special Impulse with those knobby tyres also were having no grip
, bike was sliding left and right on its own, more drifts, locking rear brakes, and after so many heart in mouth moments reached this beauty, but we didnt have courage to go back on same road, last 15 kms was hell and 80 % descent not sure how my Impulse would climb it and reach back Tawang.
