Very nice pictures and a brave trip PZ. The batal to Manali stretch is truly a killer. Didn't you break bread at chacha chachi's at batal?

Yes, He traveled in the same train with the bike from Howrah to Delhi on the day we started from Kolkata.

Wonderful narration and jaw dropping snaps. Without me having to travel to Spiti, you opene up it beauty in front of us. Many thanks for sharing such a brilliant piece of work. Rated the well deserved five stars.

Spiti has been on my radar for quite some time now. Only that something or the other comes up and I fail to conclude a trip that side.

Could you kindly share your itinerary?

Thanks earthian,

Now the bolero has covered 1L KM, and I am seeing that the leaf-spring is creating issue in last three long trips. Now I am planing to change the complete set before such long trips. Also, I like to live causal in holidays, and believe that nothing can be achieved in panic mode .

Thank you very much Samba Da,

Ladakh trip has been done long before, but I was not able to manage time to complete it. We (Me and my Wife) had done a full utilization of Durga Puja holidays to complete long pending travelogues. Two more is waiting in the queue and working on the image and video selections.

Many thanks for putting some lights on the Ladakh blog and sharing it

Just completed reading both. Both are 5* materials with some brilliant pics and awesome narration.
Felt good to see the Fz25 travelling with you. Sadly my Fz25 will not see the Himalaya in it's life, but it felt great to see other's taking their Fz25 for such trips.
Few dreams remain as dreams. We cant get all.

Keep travelling and keep gifting us with such wonderful travelogue's.

Thanks EvilZombie,

And got so far

It doesn't even matter"
