Leh
Well we just flew out of Leh on the 31st. of Aug. so I guess that is pretty fresh. We rented in Manali and then drove the Spiti valley from Manali in a counter clockwise direction to Kullu, Recong Peo, Nako, Puh, Tabo, Kaza, Keylong, and then up to Leh. The road is still not open so you have to do a diversion and head east and come in a different way. The roads are passable but they are working on spots like always. Leh is still without electricity so places are running generators most of the time for only a couple hours a day. Most of the hotels and guest houses are closed as there is no one there. It is very sad as when the tourist do not come and they need the money. There is plenty of destruction and people working on still finding the missing. No one will ever know the number of dead or missing from all of this. It is a beautiful area to visit and ride motorcycle. We did Khardung La pass and that road is fine. People are recovering but it will take years for it to recover.
