HUNDER - NUBRA VALLEY 181 km 29-8-25

Left Panamik after an early 6:30am breakfast. Headed north up the valley and then the military  police told us we can only go as far as Warishaand only locals are allowed further to Base Camp.
Dang it, I must has missed Warisha and we turned around two kilometers before Base Camp, which is a large military base. Being so close to China and Pakistan there are military bases everywhere. Very impressive  canyon, the pictures do it no justice, just the size of everything is overwhelming, the colours of the rock mountains are magnificent. 
Rode back down the one and only road and headed for  Hunder where we found B2 Resort which has nice rooms overlooking  the mountains and for $23 you get dinner and breakfast and good wifi.

SHIMLA 11 AUGUST 130kms.

Image
Was a long slow wet day to Shimla which is at about 2000 metres. It took us about six and a half hours to do 130 kms virtually  all in the rain, the road was mostly one lane up the mountains and twisty all the way, but not nice twisty. Finally  got to Shimla and got a room and went were soaked and my passport was soaked, had it in my ''waterproof " suite and now is ruined. Busy drying  out my gear now but the forecast doesn't look good for the next few days, so will decide in the morning where to go, if anywhere.     View from my window.

NEW DELHI 9 AUGUST 2025

Had a 6 hour flight to Addis then anothe 6 hours to New Delhi arriving at 8:30am. Got a taxi to hotel which is 28kms away to Park Plaza Hotel, near the bike rental place.  Had some lunch and then fell asleep for the rest of the day, could not wake up. Went out to eat and had a cold Kingfisher and got back to the hotel and slept through the night till Richard called me at 7:30am.  We had breakfast  and caught up from last time we were together in Baghdad, he had a heart attack when he got to London and now has 7 stints, but other than that is good to go. Got a tuk tub to go fetch our bikes 2kms away, and the driving is hectic here and anything goes. We have a 200cc Hero Pulse 2022, was meant to be a 2024 but wasn't. So we are all set for tomorrow's  departure north. A friend that hosted me in Israel is in town and am going to have breakfast with him in the morning at 7 am and then will try to get out of Delhi.     Vie...
