Trans Himalayan Ride
I just returned from 2 weeks ride that was supposed to be 2500 Km "Trans Himalayan Ride" but turned out to be 1000 Km "Trans Himachal Ride"
We wanted to go to Leh through from Jammu through Srinagar but due to removal of article 370, Srinagar highway was closed. On the other route, We were caught up in heavy rain, landslides and snow and could not ride. Our route and programme changed every day and we were forced to rest on most of the days since the roads were closed.
However, even when the roads opened, due to bad weather, they were rough and scary, but riding on it was an experience in itself.
It is me in the Picture.
Rohtang Pass: Rohtang , lit: (Ro)- corpse, (thang)- plain/field are named as such due to people working here dying in bad weather trying to cross the pass) . It is a high mountain pass (elevation 3,978 m (13,050 ft)) on the eastern Pir Panjal Range of the Himalayas.
Though I did not carry my DSLR, I have a few pics from my P&S and iPhone.
