              From nikhilsc via email:

              "i went to nubra valley yesterday. 250 km round trip.
              reached khardung la from leh in 1 hr 15 mins.

              saw the river nubra and shyok. beautiful scenery.
              unbeliveable. took video clip while riding bike.

              got puncture 5 km after khardungla while coming back.
              rode till south pullu where the army guys tried to
              help me out. i was wearing my army pants, boots and
              jacket. but they cudnt help me. rode till leh where i
              got the tube changed.

              going to pangong tso tomorrow or day after. and then
              finally tsomoriri.

              roads not so good.

              regards,
              nikhil."
