Satisfying Impulses #1 - 5oo km cycling from Manali to Leh - Part 4

This Part 4 of our fotolog for cycling adventure from Manali to Leh. It had been one of our greatest adventures yet. We blessed with absolutely wonderful atmosphere and welcoming locals. The appreciation from local public in form of thumbs up and a " All the best".

We started from Kelong for Jispa........one of loveliest route ever

View from our room at Keylong

Awesome breakfast to start a wonderful day.....

Bye bye to an  Awesome view.....

This is what wify had.....and made our day very interesting ....

Jispa here we come!!!!!! Something intresting happened here, as usual we requested a local for directions to Jispa to which we were promptly told that its just 25 KM and all its all downslope......so we felt it would be an easy ride and we would reach our destination with lot of time to spare.

Thats where we were wrong, it was exactly opposite wad we suffered ...........though we can laugh about it now, but those 7 hours from Keylong to Jispa taught us a lesson "Recce before you move, ensure that you are mentally prepared for what lies ahead" Which we followed to the tee for rest of our journey.

The view looks awesome but it was tough to ride the cycle.

The lone wolf.....we had an awesome time here clicking at various angles

Partners in crime.....our travel buddies 

Common! One more incline.......

Probably some yoga will help.......stress realised 

Wify in full swing!!

Blessing from "Surya Devta" The Sun God,.........may we stay blessed always 

Few more miles to go!!! Let the smiles stay. ;0 we had a minor hiccup here, broke my cycle gear, other first gear I was not able to navigate to the next gear, since there were hardly any repair station still Leh we decided to continue the journey as is. Thought it increased the effort, my commitment levels increased and I was more committed to complete the journey .

The tent accomodation for people to stay overnight.
