Here are a few from Parwanoo, Sarchu, Keylong and Nakeela.

21/8/2015

Back towards Leh.
We stop to say hello to the new friends we made the day before





Again on Chang La







and then some new friends





before Leh we stop to visit Thiksey monastery

22/8/2015

Time has come to leave Leh.
We pass the confluence between Indus and Zanskar rivers







road is almost always new tarmac. We pass a lot of Military areas...





















pictures doesn't capture the beauty, but there is a par highly spectacular









The climb to Fotula is long and with beautiful views

The descent no less...







Then Namikala..









We pass Lamayuru













and then Kargil, where it is easy to realize that we came out from the Buddhist area and entered the Islamic.
From here starts the Zanskar valley, we'd be very curious to visit it, but it would take 3-5 days and if any problem happens, they would be too many to be able to return in time to Delhi, so we continue











We reach Drass, that the Indians define "the second coldest inhabited place in the world", and we decide to stop for the night

23/8/2015

We leave Drass early: the landscape is still mountainous but starts to be greener than what we were used the previous week

























Zozila pass is the latest in high-altitude













but it can't be said that it is easier than the others, especially for the traffic and the cliffs

Sonamarg, after the pass, is a tourist town in flashy expansion: it seems almost to have been catapulted into a part of our Alps







then we reach Srinagar, our destination for the day, and take a room in a small hotel near the lake, famous for being studded with House Boat available to tourists
It's afternoon and we would like to visit the old city, the gardens and the lake, but we don't have much time, so we accept the hotelier proposal, who for a small fee gives us an almost guided tour with his car

24/8/2015

A long transfer day: it's very hot and there is a lot of traffic. The area is heavily militarized and I stop counting the convoys we are forced to overcome















We arrive in the evening in Jammu and we celebrate the end of the long day with a great tandoori chicken





25/8/2015

The road is faster than yesterday and we reach Amritsar in time to take a walk in the city and visit the charming Golden Temple, an oasis of peace in a city otherwise tremendously chaotic

26/8/8/2015

We leave Amritsar, and decide to stop halfway to Delhi, as we still have a few days left





Strunf! Patapunf!
"Well, something must have happened to the bike"
I stop, get down and look at what happened: one of the two rear shocks exploded. I thought it was also a bit 'too reliable' this Enfield.
The shock absorbers are however two, so we can continue slowly and seek a solution.
Two guys on a Bajaj stops and try to help us, but the fact is simple: we need to find someone who sells a suspension.
Fortunately there is a little city nearby, and with the help of a new friend, we reach a Royal Enfield dealer, where with twenty euro we can fix the problem.







we depart again and we reach Patiala...

27/8/2015

Road, hot, humid, traffic, road, hot, humid, traffic, road, hot, humid, traffic, road, hot, humid, traffic.
We return to Delhi, not without some difficulty we reach the hostel of the first days, and we go to the renter to return the bike





28/8/2015 - 29/8/2015

Two days of visits to the city.
Days which, I have to tell the truth, we don't enjoy: too hot, too humid, too many people, too dirty, in fact, Delhi is not for sure the part of India that I preferred in this trip











































30/8/2015

Back on the plane and home ... waiting for the next holiday ...

Thx for sharing! Fantastic pics!!!

Many thanks for posting so much info and great pictures. I am planning this route (or in reverse, depending) next year and this gives me a lot of ideas.
