Duking all the way to Zanskar-solo
I got to know about the Zanskar region only after my May2012 drive to Leh -when on the way back met and got talking to some Zanskari people while stopped in Kargil-read all about Zanskar with beautiful logs from many seasoned travelers on various websites inspiring me to visit.
This remote region is 1100kms away from home and the problem is that all the friends i made through motorcycling had already visited the region sometime or the other-some even twice and hence I had no experienced company to join me - my regular friends are into the luxury stuff-if you know what i mean-roaming on broken roads in far off lands doesn't catch their fancy one bit-so no go from that side-wife and sons wanted to join in but with school,tutions,music classes and home responsibilities,that couldn't transpire either.
That left Blor Betty-my trusty Duke390 daily ride(now sold)-and me alone to make the trip.
So after much cajoling,convincing and finally getting the blessings of my parents ,approval of the high stepper wifey,Blessings from the Lord's above,finally on a cool Sep29 2018,Blor Betty and me rolled towards Zanskar.
