From Sarchu vi continue our journey towards Delhi.
Today we travel 155 km from Sarchu to Manali over the snowy Baralacha La pass. In Sarchu we stayed overnight in tents so it was pretty cold in the morning.
With the sun shining and with breakfast in our tummies it feels great again.
We are on our way back to Delhi after visiting Pangong Lake, Hunder in Nubra Valley and travelling over the Khardungla pass.
When we were in Kaza in Spiti Valley we found out that both Kunzum Pass and Baralacha La Pass were closed due to snow so we had to take a detour of 1024 km to reach Leh via the Zoji La Pass.
We will instead drive via Tirthan Valley, Manali, Gopalpur, Pathankot, Patnitop, Srinagar and Kargil. It will be an experience that way too. The roads are often in good condition but sometimes the asphalt is missing and there are no road barriers. In some places the road is hanging on to the almost vertical rock faces but I never experience any vertigo or fear for my life. The Royal Enfield Himalayan felt secure on these roads.
During four weeks we are going on a motorcycle adventure in the Himalayan Mountains in Spiti Valley, Kashmir and Ladakh.
We will cover 4000 km on our Royal Enfield Himalayan 411 cc motorcycles and we´ll be visiting places like Chandigarh, Shimla, Kaza, Dharamshala, Srinagar, Kargil, Leh, Hunder and Pangong Lake.
I hope you will enjoy following us on our once in a lifetime motorcycle trip.
