Manali - Mc Leod Ganj - Jammu - Srinagar - Kargil - Leh - 10 Years in Asia (2010)

After we went back in Manali, we rode quite a lot our mountain bikes. Went many times to Solang Valley. But after almost a month in Manali, was time to move our ass, not only on the bike, also move it to a other location. Finally we want to go to Ladakh ལ་དྭགས , to make it a bit more interesting, we traveled over Kashmir کشمیر . But first went to Mc Leod Ganj मैकलियॉड गंज, then over Jammu جموں to Srinagar سرینگر . In both cities we spent some days. The highlight was of course the bus journey from Srinagar to Leh གླེ . We had to cross the Zoji La pass (3528 meter over sea level), also the most dangerous section of the Srinagar - Leh Hwy. Two other passes we had to climb too, the Namika La pass (3700 meter over sea level) and the Fotu La pass, the highest of all with a altitude of 4100 meter over sea level. In Kargil کارگل we stayed one Night and continue traveling the next day to Leh. The landscape could not change more on this only 217 km long journey. From green like in Switzerland to sandy like in the Sahara desert. In total we rode 1173 km from Manali to Leh. It was quite an experience to travel so long with two big bike boxes.
