This time of the year, when the doors to the heaven named Ladakh is let open to the world, hordes of people take what can only be termed as a pilgrimage on two wheels. So did the nomads. 3000km, 15 days, 11 bikes, 9 high altitude passes, one epic journey. Words cannot express the excitement and enthusiasm that we experienced but pictures certainly can. My photoblog of our journey..

Hi Vasanth,
Nice travelouge and nicer journey. Really nice shots as well. I have been amid biker as well but i have always driven solo. Been to many such places but it was always a solo journey. But never thought of putting them inhere. Planning a Badri and Hemkund Saheb visit in the days to come. Will make sure the same shows up in here
Keep travelling

Hi Sumit,
Thanks for your comments. Glad to meet another avid biker. I am a solo rider myself..in fact, my first ride to ladakh was done solo. I have just managed to extend my recreation to my workplace where i have formed this group. Badrinath and Hemkund Sahib have been on my wishlist for a very long time. Do share your ride and route plan with me. i am sure it would be helpful when i would plan my trip.
Ride Safe..
