Ladakh Primer

Why Laddakh Primer? Read on.

How lucky for me that my wife would want to go to her myka at the very time when, taking one day off would give me straight 4 days of extended weekend. This is the proof that God exists. Working with Google maps, I planned my trip to the Prayags. I always wanted to visit the Prayags and I would be able to do that on my Bullet was a fantastic wish about to be fulfilled. With my limited inventory of 4 days, I could only plan to visit the lower parts of hills doing Devprayag, Rudraprayag & Karnaprayag and return back. Laddakh will have to wait. Two days before I was to leave, I found the bike's rear chain sprocket missing some tooth. Only a day remaining, I could either finish my office work so that I can take that leave or get the chain sprocket replaced. I could see myself kissing this trip goodbye. Luckily, there was a an authorised workshop near my office and was able to do both. God still existed.

So, I left on the morning of 22nd Oct '15, the Dussehra day. I couldn't say enough thanks to the person who conceptualized Google Maps. There is no bigger waste of time than spending it trying to figure out how to get on the highway on the first day of your road trip.
