Kargil to Leh (220 Kms)
Today, I’ve covered 220 Kms from Kargil to Leh via Mulbek, Lamayuru, Nimmoo, Magnetic Hill and Gurudwara Pathar Sahib.
I started from Kargil at 8:30am and had my breakfast at Mulbek village around 10:30am. It was quite chilly and breezy for a long stretch after Mulbek. Then after crossing Fotula Top, I’ve reached Lamayuru Monastery by 1:00pm and had my Lunch there.
Post lunch around 2:00pm, the ride was so smooth and ultimate that I can’t forget. There was a long, straight patch of road for about 10-12 kms, which was smooth & ideal for a relaxed ride. There were big mountains on both sides of the long, black tarmac road…Amazing!
Then, after crossing Nimmoo Monastery around 5:00pm, I reached the famous Magnetic hill. It was an Amazing experience to ride and test the gravity. I have spent approx. 30 mins there. The bike actually climb up to hill (See the video). Next I visited the Gurudwara Pathar Sahib around 6:30pm and reached Leh by 8:00pm.
I checked into a good hotel and moved out to visit the local market (Bada bazar). It was very vibrant and colourful nightlife in Leh. I had my Dinner out and roamed around till late in night and came back to hotel by 11:00pm. It was one of the beautiful, happening day of my ride.
