                wow rachit! thnx for posting this!

                its colossal
                A good long ride can clear your mind, restore your faith, and use up a lot of fuel.

                Always be ready (get geared) to fall and then think of sitting on the motorcycle.

                                Day 10 : 15th June 2009 (Destination : Places around LEH. A Stay today)

                                Day 10 : 15th June 2009 (Destination : Places around LEH. A Stay today)


                                The sleep was just superb. A real satisfactory one. It was really bit difficult to believe that I got up from my sleep & was in Leh today.. Was it a dream.? Or a dream come true..! It was our holiday today. After three days, we had bath today . The room was superb, with cozy atmosphere, breath-taking view around. We thought of chilling out today &; watching nearby places around the city. We took a break from daily hard-core riding of 18-19 hours & where commuting inside the city. The guest house owner was a nice aunty with really very good nature. Her kid was another handsome hunk



                                First we decided to check out some tourist office where we can make some arrangements for getting permits to visit Pangang Tso lake. Finally got a good tourist guy who got us permits done in extremely low prices. We submitted our documents & he asked us to collect the permits in the evening.
                                Then we headed to Shanti-Stupa. Luckily our guest house was just below that. It was a small hill where we have to ride.
                                Shanti-Stupa is a Buddhist white-domed stupa on a Hilltop. Its built in the memory of 14th Dalai Lama.
                                From up there, you see most of the Leh city & an amazing sculpture.

                                Shanti-Stupa




                                lord winzeee


                                and the rest three.. how will we be left behind


                                Beautiful artwork


                                lord buddha


                                Leh










                                Just moving around Shanti-Stupa, we spotted some really gorgeous little angels..




                                Typical LEH stray dog. Does it really look a stray animal...




                                No wonder, this city was so beautiful. You will surely feel like staying here for months & cutting out the from the regular stress-full & rushing life we live everyday. It was an obvious reason, foreign tourist come here to stay for months.

                                Later we visited LEH palace. Its a very old palace built in the 17th century. Its a 9 storeys high building. But currently its in a real poor condition.

                                LEH Palace


                                the old pillar standing strong


                                view of LEH city










                                the care taker


                                It was getting sundown. We picked up our permits from the tourist office. Spotted some nice cozy restaurant & had some nice chicken. An important thing to mention, throughout the day we where chilling with cold. The afternoon, just looked like noon through our watches, but the weather was chilling. Purchased some nice antique stuff from the market. I purchased a wonderful Ladakh bell, winzee purchased some stones , gopi & prasad bought awesome knifes (kukri)
                                Thats how we ended our day with incredible feeling. Thanking again our bikes who got us here 1000's of miles away from the rush-hour life. So tomorrow we are heading to the most awaited & beautiful place : Pangang Tso. Good night, but Stay tuned...!!!
