Final Chapter: The introduction of the team

By
Finally we got our bikes back from the Gati Transports. We had expected at least Gati people would take care of the bike and transport it safely. But all our expectations went for a toss. When I received mine and Prabhu's bike I noticed the packaging on my bike had torn off and the rear fairing had a big scratch.
Worse was Sunil sir's bike, it had a dent in the tank at least the size of an adult's fist. We complained to the guys who delivered the bikes to our houses but they said we would have to give a complaint to the higher authorities.
Again like the Aakash Packers and Movers these guys wouldn't have done anything. We did raise the complaint but nothing was done.
Anyways a lesson learnt from this trip.
NEVER TRANSPORT YOUR BIKE THROUGH THESE PACKERS COMPANIES, OUR GOOD OLD TRAINS ARE BETTER THAN THESE GUYS.

Anyways moving on and finally the introduction of the team:

I reached Marsmikla so late that all the photoshoot with the marsmikla milestone was over and hence no photo of mine here :).
But yeah we did take the whole team's photograph:

At last I just want to thank each and everyone in the team for such an enjoyable eventful trip or rather journey through the most beautiful place on earth. It had been my dream to ride through the Mighty Himalayas and you just made it possible for me.
Thanks everyone to for giving me these moment that I'll cherish my whole life.

Day 7: Leh to Pagal Naala

So again back to the road. Today we had planned for reaching Pangong Tso which was around 102Kms from Leh. The biggest hurdle for reaching there was the dreaded stream called "Pagal Naala". this stream, in fact all the streams in Himalayas, would be going through the rideable roads and its characteristics will be, you can cross the stream with ease in the mornings till noon around 2 o clock after which the it would be impossible to cross it. The reason being the snow in the mountain peaks would have melted by noon which will inundate even a small stream. Hence we had to cross the Pagal Nala before 12 o clock. Keeping this in mind we wanted to start early. Even if the 100kms sounds very easy to do but it is not easy in the mountains to cover even this small distance. The bikes won't go fast, the rider also is not at ease if he isn't acclimatized well with the high altitude and to add to that pathetic roads and sometimes no roads itself. We asked our scorpio driver to

After a long time writing something on my blog and that too happens to be a sad incident. There is a person who calls himself " Wing Commander Partha De Sarkar " who seems to own a touring agency by the name " Ladakh India Tourism, Global Hop Travels India and Global Hop Travels. " Since yesterday I had been getting posts about Mr Partha stealing photos from my friends blogs, website, social media profiles and posting it on his own Facebook page as his own: https://www.facebook.com/WgCdrParthaDeSarkar I was following all the posts about him very carefully and also looking out if any of my photos has been stolen by him. And today morning I was shocked to find my photos as well on his "Cover Photos"album. This is the photo I found: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=489903457734373&set=a.266314313426623.63435.100001441692677&type=1&theater This photo I myself had clicked on my trip to Himalayas in 2010. This was on the way t

Leh Ladakh On a Ducati Monster - A crazy dream realized

Disclaimer: This trip has no association with any organization whatsoever. It was a personal, a self funded trip which was solely planned by My wife and me. I have created a FaceBook page as well for our trip. Please do leave your comments/thoughts there as well: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Leh-on-a-Ducati-Monster-by-Moreen-Sumit/141181422686385 The enchanting, mystical Himalayas. The mesmerizing beauty of the Himalayas (Leh, Ladakh) is raw and pure. As beautiful as it is, the terrain, climatic and road conditions, to reach there, are equally challenging. The two ways to reach Leh, the Manali - Leh Highway and Srinagar - Leh Highway, both provide the ultimate adventure with altitudes rising above 17,000 ft with an average altitude of 11,000 ft above MSL. If there is one place I like to tour again and again is the Himalayas. I had already toured Leh, Ladakh twice before, in 2008 with a team of four bikers and in 2010 which was a solo ride, on my other bike, the Hyosung Co
