I visited inside in 2003 and there was nothing inside. Not old artefacts, nothing much really. My clients were wondering what did they pay 100INR for!The Wheel was a great invention; Two Wheels with a Motor in between was even better!

Yeah, me too eager to know what happened. Did you call up your manager? What happened when you returned?
Good going Ananth & looks like the Fortuner guys didn't have any plans on their visit. All they would've thought was they'd a monster & hoped on for LEH.Skill is what keeps you on a Motorcycle

They did plan, But they did not have any detailed information on roads / road conditions / Point Of Interests, etc.Originally posted by aargee View Post
The guys are originally from Kerala, But settled in London. Drives around on a Merc and a Audi Q7 in London. They were all prepared from water bottles to gas stove! But the minute information we shared stuck them and they stuck with us for a few days. They wanted to try the Agam - Shyok road and test the fortuners 4 x 4 capabilities.
All in all, we were helped by them and we helped them in planning their trip

Leh Palace has an entry ticket of Rs.5 for Indians. ( I still have that ticket) Nothing to see inside other than the temple but the view of leh town from the top is excellent.
Secondly, you need not climb any hills for shanti stupa or Leh palace. Bike goes till the entry gate.Last edited by trustvishwas; 07-13-2010, 06:47 PM.Never argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and then beat you with experience.

steve - great thread & a nice video.though the tilted angle impaired my vision for 2 minutes after watching it
I now wish we could have carried a simple point & shoot camera which could shoot videos too.
anyways next time for sure

@Steve: Machan, nice video da. The clarity also is pretty impressive. How did you mount the camera? I'm very interested to know.Comment

@darkknight - ahh the agahm shyok route is an off roaders paradise and roads are being laid there. anyway there is always a next time
@ Praveen - a little trick taught by ananth. keep the cam mounted near your mouth inside your helmet so that the lens side alone is visible outside and you have your line of sight as well. difficult to explain.will show it when we meet.Comment
