The "road" to Tso Kar from Sumdo... it's a total dirt track all the way to More plains

The dirt track to Tso Kar

I'd begun thinking of names for this dirt track.... finally decided on Machine Gun track :-), logic is simple.. you ride slightly fast and your whole body begins going dhad dhad dhad from the way the road is formed...

Tso Kar in the distance

The dirt track finally reaches Tso Kar in the distance... it's a diffrent story that even after reaching Tso Kar's beginning, you have to ride for another 12-15 kms of the "Machine Gun" track to reach the other side

Tso Kar finally... I like the way the mountains are reflecting off the still waters of the lake...

Crossing the lake bed to reach the camps on the other side and then move on to More plains

I met a few people from Chandigarh here in a scorpio... they had gone to Tso Moriri and their scorpio's tyre burst there, they started back and near Sumdo their other tyre got a flat..!! Talk about bad luck, abt 8 kms from More Plains their air pump also conked off..!! I loaned them the air pump and rode with them till More plains, there they got help from passing truckers... They later helped me out in getting a hotel in Chandigarh..

At the end of More plains, just before the descent for Pang starts... I had wanted to stop here when we were going... now, solo, i had all the time in the world...

I parked my bike here and had the packed lunch of Bread pakoras and fruit juice that i'd gotten from Sumdo

There I was, having bread pakoras at More plains :-) when a bus full of Indian tourists stops just a distance away for the tourist to take a photo shot :-) they were absolutely gawking at the lone biker ... ;-))

You can see a better shot of this here :-)), http://www.60kph.com/miff.html it was also my inspiration to try this shot.

Even though not actually wanting to.. but moving on

Towards Kanglajal
