Nakee La Pass, Ladakh
Mountain passes are the most exciting and adventurous parts while riding on the mountains. Mostly the roads on the passes, if at all they exist, are not in good condition. The weather may also change suddenly from sunny to icy cold with high wind speed.
Nakee La is one of the 5 passes you have to cross to reach Leh from Manali, It is situated between Sarchu and Pang at a height of 15547 feet . At the top you will find thousands of prayer flags fluttering in the wind and fragments of rocks stacked on top of each other in various piles by visitors. It was inspiring to see many cyclists from across the world on a 10 day 473 km long cycle-ride to Leh! May be one day I'll do that too!
PS- while crossing a pass, especially on a motorbike, you need to ensure your hands are completely dry of sweat or moisture, as chillingly cold weather on the passes may give you a frostbite.
