WE GOT LEH-ID

August 16, the adventure of our lifetime begins. Javed and me hit the road towards Leh and enjoy the most beautiful and diverse landscapes ever. Crossing stone areas, following rivers, passing no-mans land through off road riding in the cold desert and so many passes was indeed an incredible experience. In fact, during the 2'500 kilometers that we covered in these 10 days I thought of adjectives that describe what we've gone through, come across and saw. It was BEAUTIFUL, AMAZING, STUNNING, WONDERFUL, IMPRESSIVE, DIVERSE, MIND-BLOWING AND JUST INCREDIBLY AWESOME!!

Although the roads were in pretty bad conditions sometimes (in fact the roads were just washed away or there was no road at all) and not a single day passed that we didn't go to see a mechanist to have our bikes repaired, although we ate Maggie (Nestle 3min noodles) almost every day that I got sick and tired of it, we were freezing out butts off in the cold desert at nights and I had wet feet for the first three days - it was all part of the adventure - the adventure of a lifetime!
The nature and impressions that we got made it all up, was worth way more than all the hassle we went through.

It was a rally like Paris-Dakar - but much better, jejeje
It was indeed a unique experience and I can definitaly call myself a biker now!

On 5'602 meters above sea level we crossed the world's highest motorable road in Khardungla,
in Pang we passed the world's highest transit point
and overall we can definitely say that we did one of the most impressive travels.
And to have it done by bike is just the best - the adventure of a lifetime!
