Hello, here I am again! I have the dreaded Rohtang Pass (mountain pass 3978 feet) and climbed up to four more healing to 5360 meters. But first things first.
In Manali I started at 7 clock, after 3 days of rain in the sunshine. It looked then for a few miles this:
But the joy did not last long, because the continuous rain had turned the mountain road into a muddy alley, were stuck in the same number of trucks. In addition there were several landslides. So I have used for the 52 miles to the pass 4.5 hours. Since it was still good to me, because I had two wheels often get the chance, and the trucks to pass. Sometimes, however, was not even that.
saw on the north side of it all again a lot of friendly , occasional obstacles were to join forces thrown down the hill.
The second pass, the BaralachaLa, then went on already high 4830 yards, but was much better because fahren.Wenn was not 6 meltwater rivers would have had to be the "road" Tost and through. Sometimes more than 30 cm deep - that was pretty wet and cold feet.
My Ai-as expensive (think in the strokes of my initials ...) Trekking shoes have resolved this, the soles hanging down just yet. I then temporarily held together with Velcro.
The night I after 12 hours - spent in a tent camp - for 220 kilometers driven. In 4500 meters height is not exactly warm. Gabs wash water from the barrel.
day two on the Manali-Leh Highway (on the way, the entire supply of Ladakh is running!) Began again with a warm sun, which then stayed all day as well. Some impressions of the beautiful track, that are still on the 5360 meters with the second highest mountain pass World, the mountains are round about TaglangLa Pass führt.Die all 6000-7000 meters high.
Who wants to look: Enter 32.096 77.176 in Google Earth. As you can see a part of the 500 curves, which I drove today am.
Bottom welcome Chorten and prayer flags in Ladakh. After 11 hours, and after reaching 260 kilometers in Leh. Great joy at Pauls Guest House, where I was last year already. My first guided me to a shoemaker. Tomorrow I pick up my shoes, I'm curious.
Every few miles down the road builders have left nice Proverbs. Some I've photographed, so that I can say goodbye to the future, saying of the day.
