All good things must come to an end one day.
The biker boys soaked themselves in the amazing beauty of Pangong Tso on Thursday evening. Got up early to have another look at it and bid adieu with a heavy heart. It's a big and beautiful lake - partly in India and partly in China - but the irony is that the water on the Indian side is saline while it is sweet on the other end. The stones on the road continuously flew upwards, defying gravity, and hit the bikes which needed repairs badly when they reached back Leh in the late afternoon. They went around the markets in the evening and enjoyed fast food at the German Bakery.
This morning at around 7.30 am, they have left for Upshi - an almost flat run, by hill standards, of 50 kms - and will go on till they reach Sarchu for a night halt.
Let us see when they get up tomorrow morning. Everyday, they have been planning an early assault but get invariably delayed as they never had such sound sleep. They should reach Manali by tomorrow evening and Gurgaon by Monday evening - a full day behind schedule - if there are no hassles waiting to test them further.
Well done, boyz!
The rest from the horses' mouths once they are back...
