28 Days of Motorcycle Adventure in the Himalayas–Day 10 Reckong Peo, Tranda Dhank to Tirthan Valley

We continue our detour from Kaza to Leh via Zoji La Pass.
Both Kunzum Pass and Baralacha La Pass are closed due to snow so we will have to make a detour of 1024 km to reach Leh.
We will instead drive via Tirthan Valley, Manali, Gopalpur, Pathankot, Patnitop, Srinagar and Kargil. It will be an experience that way too.The roads are often in good condition but sometimes the asphalt is missing and there are no road barriers. In some places the road is hanging on to the almost vertical rock faces but I never experience any vertigo or fear for my life. The Royal Enfield Himalayan felt secure on roads like this.
During four weeks we are going on a motorcycle adventure in the Himalayan Mountains in Spiti Valley, Kashmir and Ladakh.
We are two participants from Sweden and five from the Netherlands.
We will cover over 4000 km on the Royal Enfield Himalayan 411 cc motorcycles and we´ll be visiting places like Chandigarh, Shimla, Kaza, Srinagar, Kargil, Leh, Hunder and Pangong Lake.
I hope you will enjoy following us on our once in a lifetime motorcycle trip.
