We Motorcycled across the HIMALAYAS in LADAKH India

#motorcycle #himalayas #khardunglapass #ladakh #nubravalley #leh #india We motorcycled a 1000 KM's across the Himalayas Day one of our 1000km 5 day journey we travelled 140km from Leh, the capital of Ladakh, to Nubra Valley crossing Kardung La pass at 5359 meters. Khardung La pass used to be the worlds highest motorable pass, almost the same height as Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Everest Basecamp. Today it is the 11th highest with the highest also in Ladakh at 5799 Meters. We are not experienced bikers and driving they tight cornered single lane passes with big army trucks passing you grinded my nerves but an experience that is unmatched. The scenic views of the towering mountains, green valleys, decorated trucks, incredible locals and spiritual grace of the mountains on the way to the highest altitude cold desert of Nubra Valley tamed the nerves. Double hump backed camels, archery, Swiss camp tents and a night around the fire in the peaceful Nubra Valley was the best way to end off the first day on the road.
