As much as I wanted to be a part of this ride, unfortunately I could not as I fell sick a week before this was to happen. I was tremendously heart-broken.

@OF sir/ B2L/ Anshul: Please accept a hearty congratulation from my end, for successfully completing this trip.

Thanks for those wonderful words Aryan. We missed your effervescent enthusiasm and your absence would often find mention in our conversation. Anyways, there's always next time...and my next March will surely see another ride into this white paradise.

Simply terrific and amazing journey. The teaser photos so far are out of this world, the crisp and punchy text perfectly complements them.

Trust me, New Zealand and other countries dont hold a candle to the raw beauty and the supernatural aura of the Himalayas and its valleys. I was also pleasantly surprised to know that the photos have been taken by a non-DSLR camera.

Again, I would have loved to be a part of the experience, soon, soon...

Missed you too Sunny. And thanks for the compliments. Yes, India has a LOT to offer, apart from people, snake charmers and elephants of course

. The camera did its job pretty well too.

Thanks GS. Yes, there's lots more in images and all high-res enough to be 'big' pictures. The Panasonic Lumix is 12mp.

All in ggod time young man! Dream, think and believe and you'll eventually be there. On two wheels...yes.

Congrats to the team for a special ride.

Only one thing - the images have not been adequately processed. Someone like Sunny bhai could do magic with these lovely captures.

This is entered into my 10 things before I die list :-)
- Only difference - I will cycle to Spiti in Mar 2011 (job be willing). Now that will be a first

Thanks Hitanshu...and Amen! for the cycle ride. I'll tag along to take pictures again

I saw the pics above & my face is like :

you guys went to heaven & back... iEnvy!

Incredible India!

**Aryan** · 03-22-2010, 02:00 AM

Breathless! These photographs have simply left me absolutely breathless. The 'frozen Nako Lake' and the Pin Valley photograph takes the cake, for me! What a sight, and experience it must have been! Kudos to all three of you.

Now, I am eagerly waiting for an update from B2L and Anshul!

P.S: And good to learn that the 'Old Fox' found the real one, all the way at Spiti!

**silver_falcon_46** · 03-22-2010, 02:38 AM

Brilliant stuff! Keep it coming. Would've loved to see it in a bigger resolution. The pictures look even better when in a bigger resolution. Just my thoughts. Looking forward to the RR ahead.

**AnuragAshok** · 03-22-2010, 08:27 AM

Kudos OF.. I almost wish that I was over there in Spiti with you than here in US... :-)

BTW: Its snowing here in Chicago.

**Naughty VaIsH** · 03-22-2010, 08:45 AM

great stuff ..waiting for more and more photographs

**desideep** · 03-22-2010, 09:05 AM

Beautiful pics Chacaha. i hope to see my self in spiti some time. but it would be even better if i get to do it in your guidance.

Thanks

PS. imran told a lot about the trip yesterday.

MG · 03-22-2010, 10:14 AM

Uff what pictures. I could just wish how it feels like to experience firsthand. Next year planning starts

.

**Shivanshu** · 03-22-2010, 10:22 AM

Well what better than to read OF's Sir log and to look at those mesmerizing pics at the starting of the week.... Sir you made my week, waiting for more... aaahhhh Sir excellently marvellous

**Abhishek B** · 03-22-2010, 10:27 AM

I just picked my eyes from my lappy keyboard and fit back into their socket.... pics can have such great impact!!

Wonderful stuff evident through pics but I really bow down to spirit of riders. It requires a lot of enthu & guts to ride through those testing terrains.
My vocab falls short to find the right word to express myself so making an understatement by saying that it was fantastic to go through text and glance those pics.

**prateek2210** · 03-22-2010, 10:28 AM

What a trip it must have been Sir!!!
Yesterday Imran bhai was telling about the whole ordeal and I must say you all returned from such a beautiful place.......The pics looks so stunning, I can imagine what you guys must have experienced.

Someday may be

**kurtrules** · 03-22-2010, 10:50 AM

OF ji you are a revelation! Showing me Spiti that white you have woken the bug in me and I can only satiate myself by going there! Real soon, it will be, before the gold melts! Had I not been back from my tiring trip the week before you guy left, I would have requested you to take me along

The first pic sums up the amount of fun you and team must have had.Congratulations on sucessfully completing the ride to all three.

Waiting with eagerness for more details of the ride!

**Aparajith** · 03-22-2010, 11:45 AM

Amazing pics Old Fox Sir.... Congrats to Old Fox, Imran and Anshul. True about the Himalayas. Pics never do justice! Its something one has to experience first-hand. Need to cover this place ASAP!!
