Within minutes we hit Gata Loops.

One thing was quite striking throughout the route. BRO guys seem to have an eye for wacky yet sensible advices. BRO perhaps would be the first open minded organization of our country.
Slowly and steadily earth land was turning into moon land. See the picture below and you would know how. All signs of vegetation and civilization were gone now. It was just two amateur riders in a barren landscape. There was so much dust on us and the bike that from a distance it was pretty difficult to distinguish us from the background.
Beautiful
After a while i noticed a small peak which could be scaled with my bike. I sensed an opportunity for history in the making here J and I jumped on it.
I could see at the far end two trucks racing each other kicking out a hurricane of dust behind them. Worst part they were approaching towards us. I was pretty far from my bike clicking snaps which made it difficult to get out of their way soon enough. Within minutes they crossed us and I was engulfed by a dust storm. Hoof. Absolutely nothing was visible and it took nearly a minute for the dust to clear off.
The plains were much bigger than what it may seem from the pictures above and it took more than 30 minutes to crossover.
Next Stop; Taglang La.

Taglang La Conquered
J
After rejoicing our achievement for a while we rode ahead. The roads were horrible for some distance but soon, it became a Paradise. One of the best stretches of road I have seen on the entire trip, and I was told it stretched all the way till Leh. Nothing could stop me now. I vroomed ahead.
Finally there was some tent houses at Rumste, next town after Taglang La. We stopped there for some rest.
To our surprise, the cyclists were not far behind. The downhill ride to Rumste and the good stretch of roads helped them catch up with us.
It was already 5:30p.m and Leh was another 90 kms from here. With these roads we can reach Leh within no time.
En route I saw this Red Hills. No idea why the soil and rock looked red on them.
Within some time we reached Upshi, another town nearly 40 kms ahead of Leh.

Good Clicks excellent write up, however, I think it would have been great if you wont have posted the Helmet less Riding pics. Guess xBhp doesnt appreciates them.
All Cheers!!

Thanks a ton to XBHP and the wonderful riders that this place boasts of.

This could be one of the craziest thing happened in this forum. A blog written over a span of 3 months.
Sorry guys i could'nt help it. Office work kept me busy. Finally im outta project and that gives me a lot of time to complete this blog.
The thing is i did'nt wanna rush around and finish it off in a hurry.
