    @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.

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

    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

    ps:we avoided the agam-shyok road as it was the last leg of our journey

    riding on the highest motorable road in the world -

    YouTube - Ride to the top of the world - Khardhung la (Tamil)

    YouTube - Ride to the top of the world - Khardhung la HIndi

    the second video has the audio in Hindi, i chose the song because of the lyrics in Tamil.

    guys excuse me if the Hindi lyrics weren't matching as i could not figure the meaning of the song in Hindi. it is a good song anyway
    Damn... My office network blocks access to youtube. First thing to do after reaching home is viewing these videos.

    Yes I went there. You can check out on my log. I stayed at the Oriental Guest House barely a kilometre below the Shanti Stupa!

    Secondly, you need not climb any hills for shanti stupa or Leh palace. Bike goes till the entry gate.
