        Wonderful pics again, and man; even I had to put my feet in that stream. My rear trye has dug into that loose gravel. But we stayed at pang and I was able to dry up my shoes there for the next day.
        And I am sure you will be the first person to ride to the pass in sandles
        One of the awesome feelings I had in my life is to see the world receding on my back mirror

                        Honest to goodness recounting of the events and some VERY good photographs. Thanks for sharing.
                        thanks there Ken sir....at one point of time it became as good as loosing the toes

                        Hey hey Funny Punia..... nice name given to the incident
                        Just recalled another thing, Alistair referred to Bunny as "one of khoolest guys around"!!
                        Of course Alistair Well, I didnt want to amaze him more. He was already quite mesmerized by the beauty Kashmir has to offer, and on top that "bouy O' bouy! I dinn-ow bikhers in India also wear such ridin gears...?? Am amazed buddy.."
                        Also we were already on the bikes gearing to go the 1/1000 way


                        @ Nabendu da...i'll be uploading the rest very soon. Stuck with some work these days. juss waiting to get free

                          Hey Shailay, could you upload some of them pics in HQ? I am using some of these current ones as my wallpaper but as stretched they look pixelated. :/

                            Day 05: Upshi to Leh and around
                            We rode less than 80 kms today. Just from Upshi to Leh and around. It was quite a relaxing day. Amit was fined for helmet in Leh. He went out to see if there is any mechanic around for some minor tweaks and washing. Rest of the day was spent in Leh. Got the pass for KhardungLa from the DC.
                            Here are the photos:

                                I may sound a bit offbeat here when I say that LEH itself is not as beautiful or exciting (deriving that conclusion from the pics that I have seen) as the route to LEH is. Anyone who agrees to what I have to say?

                                LEH just seems to be any other small town just like manali or srinagar.
