Places visited: Khardung - La Pass, Chuchot Village
After a cozy sleep, we started our day. Today there was no place to visit in between so there was plenty of time for photo shoot.
Photo clicking started from the beginning of the day itself :-). We came out of the tent and it was a beautiful scenic view, just loved it and captured in the cam.
Since we had plenty of time in the morning so we went for a walk down the river, meanwhile Mannu clicked some photographs for us :D
Now it was to time to have to some good Aaloo Paratha :P , after having breakfast we loaded everything on our bike and said good bye to Nubra Eco Lodge, a recommended place to stay from our side. The Safari tent was just awesome and cozy, would like to stay there again if possible.
Again the same path, but this time we knew the situation so it was not hard for us to move ahead safely. But this time we took so many stops to just have tea, food and pics.
We were riding our bikes one by one with proper resting as the journey was long. There was a military canteen on our way where we had Momos and Maggi on a very basic rate :-) and the chutney was so hot, which indeed made the maggi super delicious.
After 60 KM, we stopped for a while, and then I switched on my camera to utilize the time :P
Suddenly the clouds started covering the sun, so we decided to pass Khardung-la asap. we moved ahead with those scenic view keeping in our eyes and capturing in the video, which was the department of Shashank.
We reached Khardunla-La around 3.30 PM but this time there were very less people, may be because of bad weather condition. We were going to Chuchot village which was on the way to Pangong and according to our plan we had to reach there before sunset. We were little bit late so we accelerated our bike a bit, when the road was good but still very sharp corners without boundary.
Finally we reached Leh and had a BIG CUP tea again then moved to our next destination, this time it was a tent placed in the ground. We were excited to get the experience, we reached the destination but it was quite inside from the main road. But I must say that this time also the view was excellent. Kaushik was the happiest person as he liked the tents more than anyone else.
Our tent was booked in Bikamp Adventure, Leh
Since we reached there just after the sunset so it was quite dark and we get know that there was no electricity in Leh for las two days. Thanks god we were in Nubra that time, but then after sometime electricity came and we were feeling good.
As usual we were again hungry, but this time there was some delay in food so we took advantage of it and enjoyed bonfire. The weather was very cold and definitely it was required. Meanwhile food was ready and we started eating like hungry lions. First time I had Kashmiri Aaloo dum in my life and I really liked it. Even other items from the dinner was also great. In 5 people we ate 30 chapati, big bowl full of rice, big bowl of Aaloo dum and one bowl of Manchurian :P :P.
We again went to get some energy from fire and finally went to bed. The tents were very small with two separate beds in each tent and a small attached bathroom to it. It was a good experience to live in a tent in an open field with very hot blanket :D.
Seventh day also passed with lots of adventure.
Next Day
