Arrey Bhau ...

Enjoy your Jispa to Padum stretch brothers.
Try taking a break at Purne or camp near Gonbo Rangjon if the nature isn’t helping you instead of pushing your bikes and yourselves to Padum at
one go.

Godspeed brothers

Circuit 6: Hanle-Chisumle Bridge-Fotila-Umling La-Norbu La- Hanle
Circuit 7: Hanle- Loma-Nyoma-Mahe-Karzok-Chumathang-Leh.

These circuits were planned on the fly and one can merge few circuits.

In this HOMA Madness, we rode through Snow, Frozen roads, Cold Deserts, River beds, Awesome black top twisties, Gravel, and god knows what other terrains we rode through.

A more detailed travelogue is on the cards by Raaghav and Dheeraj. Until then stay tuned and watch out for our insta updates now and then.

Peace.

Ash bhai…yes you are absolutely spot on regarding road conditions in the month of April.
We are taking chances here…
It will be an aimless wandering ride in the Himalayas with zanskar and hanle being priority ones.
Rest all are a bonus.
Where ever roads leads us we ride in that way.
