The LADAKH RIDE

Five friends (3 from Mumbai and 2 from Nagpur) planned a ride which became a memorable part of their life.

I am presenting here memorable moments from our journey in movie (4 parts) form.

Part - I

Three of us started our journey from Mumbai to Ambala Cantt in train. We parcelled our bike to Ambala Cantt in advance. On reaching there and getting fresh in a hotel already booked by our partners who came from Nagpur, we started our RIDE. First day stay at Pathankot, second day stay at Srinagar and sightseeing in Srinagar on the next day. Then ride from Srinagar to Kargil via Zoji La.

Part -II

We started our journey from Kargil and chose the route via Batalik. Next day sightseeing in Leh. Then started for Nubra valley via Khardung La, but returned to Leh after reaching Khardung La due to heavy snow fall.

Part - III

Next destination was Pangong Tso, this was also remain incomplete since one of the bike was not able to reach Chang La due to low atmospheric oxygen for fuel burning. On the next day we started return journey towards Manali and stopped at Darcha for night stay.

Part - IV
