Have you ever had that feeling when you are just in awe of what you see in front of you? a sight what can be best described as the magic of god and you have to actually take in a deep breath and give yourself a couple of seconds so that your brain can actually register what is in front of you. Well if you haven't then you are missing out on something called life. You then need to come to Ladakh – a civilization over a 1000 years old in the most hostile enviroment in the world is nothing short than gods magic.
The road from Manali to leh on which I have travel first time never lets you down in terms of the awesome sights, sheer adventure and of course the challenge that it presents to you while riding a bike.While traveling on Leh Manali road one can experience first hand the change in mountains, people, and culture. You leave the Manali hills full of trees and enter a land where nothing grows. You come across fellow riders who stop at a tea stall at 13000 feet and then cross the lake at Baralacha pass which cannot be described in words. One sight after the other, one experience after the other, it is definitely an experience of a lifetime. A pilgrimage one needs to undertake year after year. Do not think that the journey finishes once you reach leh. There are things to see like 1000 year old monasteries where way of like has not been corrupted, places to go like camping like the Nubra valley, and lakes to visit in this cold desert. It is a place that just sucks you in by its beauty and the warmth to its people.
I promise you, a road trip to Ladakh is a journey of a life time. Its sheer beauty and starkness will make you wonder if you are on planet earth. Ladakh is a high altitude desert and is a pretty harsh place to stay; the beauty of this place can only be experienced first hand. Ladakh is crisscrossed with ancient Buddhist monasteries and small villages which provide color to other wise barren Ladakhi landscape.
today me get ready to go for RAFTING on indus river my pulse quicken as my guide runs mr through the various maneuvers and instructions.The gush of the rapids, the tantalizing swirls, lashing of water against the raft and the adrenaline pumping through your body is what river rafting is all about.
So,Its time to Go !
