I agree.
I wonder if, or more likely where we might have crossed over. There were a few places where I saw other guys on the route and thought to myself "That looks like a Saffa". We tend to get around.
What was your favourite part? I think mine was the Gata loops, The ride from Panggong to...
It's a very special experience. I cannot overstate how all of us agreed that the best part was the people.
Another word about the cost: I am sure that this ride could be done for 3000 EUR and maybe even less. We found India to be very cheap as far as accommodation, eating and renting bikes is...
I hit pretty close to the 6000 Euro mark:
Flights were 1200 Euro
Extra days in Delhi - hotels - 300 Euro.
Some gear was purchased, about 400 Euro
Drinks, shopping, etc.. 500 Euro.
Tour Fee about 3500 Euro.
Immediately apparent that we were at 300 meters again, the green trees of Shakti up ahead.
This was at the bottom of the pass, which had excellent roads and we all enjoyed speed and many, many curves all the way down.
Pretty little towns dot the landscape and always the coloured flags...
The second last day of the ride was a trip to Turtuk. Steve and me decided to stay and chill in Nubra for a day, simply because we knew it was all tar and "an easy ride". As it turned out, it was not as easy as implied, simply because the most disastrous event of the ride took place..
