Ride Summary: Distance 160 km Time: 7 hrs
We left the guest house around 8 am. Since vehicles from Manali aren't allowed in the tourist attractions near Leh, we got a different service man. Our favorite Nittu ji left in the morning for a non-stop 18 hr drive to Manali :)
We filled up our tanks and had breakfast near Karu. Off we were towards the Chang La. The road was pretty decent but the inclines were steep. Even on my 500cc model, I could see that the bike isn't pulling the way it used to until the Chang La. Other than that it was a very comfortable ride to the top. Wasn't even that cold.
Since it was a sunday, there was lot of rush at the top near the cafetaria. We quickly sneeked in a few pictures, had some tea and decided to move on. Today, Shweta and I were riding with the group. It was supposed to be an approx. 160 km ride to the lake.
Just when we thought that the ride to Pangong isn't as exciting as the previous ones, I got stopped by an Indian Army officer near the village Tsangtse. A nearby battalion had arranged a "Guru ka Langar" in this remote area and humbly requested us to have lunch and then proceed. We were overwhelmed by his request and decided to stop. We were hungry as well. Except for one, all the other group members decided to ride on. I think they missed the whole experience.
All of the army men were in uniform. An officer cleaned a table for us and got us seated. They served us chole-bhature with exceptional service. Interestingly, they had a wash-basin erected and an officer poured water from the back side to ensure supply. We were so humbled by the whole experience. Our country is in safe hands of these true heroes.
We moved on and reached Pangong Lake around 5 pm or so. What a beauty nature has produced. Absolutely magnificent! We stayed at the Water Mark camp site and I must say, their service and location was very good. Around 6ish, I could get a few shots of the mountains reflection in the Lake. What a sight to behold!
