Leh to Rhongo via Chumathang, Mahe Bridge and Nyoma - My Solo ride starts...
18th July 2006

Starting of my solo ride in Ladakh. Subash and Meher started for Delhi via Tso Moriri and Tso Kar, while I would ride to Hanle and then return to Delhi via Tso Moriri and Tso Kar.

Route
Leh - Karu - Ranibagh - Hyemia - Chumathang - Mahe Bridge - Nyoma - Muth - Loma Post - Rhongo

Starting from here, I think I found the real Ladakh that I had been looking for. The landscapes and also the local people that I saw and met were absolutely heartwarming and fantastic.

Many of these pics dont have captions... simply because I found them toooo beautiful to be titled...!!!
