Sarchu

After Nakeela and Baralacha La, we reached Sarchu safely and were tired as hell. We had a cup of tea, it is 5 pm already and we knew the fine line between cautious and reckless. So, decided to stay the night at Sarchu.We got two beds for Rs.200 each, geared down, parked bike, stretched on the bed for awhile. Anshu then called home via a satellite phone through a Military Station nearby. Anshu settled down for sleep as I kept up for awhile taking long exposures of stars peeking through the clouds.

Crack of dawn on day 3 we had our breakfast and resumed our trip. What we were about to be experience was exhilarating. The stretch of 250 kms from Sarchu to Leh has salient acquaintance. Coz we were about to incident few stirring part as riders,1.Gata loops: A 10 km stretch with a series of 22 hairpin bends that takes you to the top of Nakeela La-Pass with an altitude difference of roughly 500 metres between its start and end point. As if this was not enough, The multiple stories of a mysterious ghost encounter in this region will surely send a chill down the spine for travellers.

Travelled from Leh to SarchuDistance 270 kmsTime taken 10 hrsToday, we started our journey towards Manali. It was raining heavily since morning, but today we were to cover the longest distance of our tour.But what we didn't know that today was going to be the most adventurous day of our trip.When we started climbing the Tanglang la, heavy snowfall started along with rain. Visibility became very low due to snow and fog and temperature was freezing which i think went below 0°. Fingers were hurting too much due to excess cold and wet gloves. We stopped at the top for some time and then started our journey downwards.
