Скачать или смотреть POV Drive in Honda City from Khalsi Top to Batalik, Ladakh

The drive was on 15th August, 2025. I am driving a 2025 Honda City ZX CVT.

The portents of rain which I observed on Wednesday the 13th started pouring albeit lightly on Leh on 14th August itself. So rather than wait till Saturday as I previously planned I left Leh on Friday the 15th of August itself and that turned out to be a fortuitous decision. There were landslides at Alchi which caused NH1 to be blocked causing me a southern detour through some Dam areas to reach NHA again.

After Khalsi the NH1 to Karhil was completely blocked due to flooding at Lamayuru so I took the Batalik route along the Indus River to reach Kargil. This was a wilder, much narrower route and hence more pictureseque!

Along the way was Hambuting La Pass with winds so heavy my beard was permanently tilted towards right for the rest of the day!
