I got to know about the Zanskar region only after I joined BCMT. Several beautiful logs from many other seasoned travelers inspired me to plan a Zanskar Valley bike trip myself. It was a great experience and turned out to be one of my best rides ever. The post below is a detailed log of the journey.<\/p>\n
This remote region is 1100 km away from my home in Ludhiana. The problem was that all the friends I made through BCMT had already visited the region. Some people had been there twice even. Thus, I had no experienced company to join me and the trip had to be done solo.<\/p>\n
My regular friends are into the luxury kind of vacations; if you know what I mean. Roaming on broken roads in far off lands doesn’t catch their fancy one bit. So it was a no go from their side. My wife and sons wanted to join in but with school, tuitions, music classes, and home responsibilities, that couldn’t transpire either.<\/p>\n
That left Blor Betty – my trusted Duke390 daily ride and me alone to make the trip.<\/p>\n
After much cajoling, convincing, and finally getting the blessings of my parents, approval of the high stepper wifey, blessings from the Lord above, finally on a cool Sep29 Blor Betty and me rolled towards Zanskar Valley.<\/p>\n
