MANALI ARRIVAL
MANALI TO JISPA
On that day, we’ll start riding in direction of Keylong, traveling over the Rohtang pass which reaches an altitude of 4050m and from where you can see the snow white peaks of Lahaul Mountains that contrast with fluttering Buddhist prayer flags along the way. The pass provides a natural divide between the sub humid/humid Kullu Valley with a primarily Hindu culture (in the south), and the arid/semi-arid highaltitude Lahaul and Spiti valleys with a Buddhist culture (in the north). From that side, we follow our route towards Keylong. Situated at an altitude of 3440 m, Keylong is the headquarters of Lahaul and Spiti district of Himachal Pradesh and the most populated place of that region. The region is strange, exciting, primitive mountainous and delightful. Among the white and brown mountain, Keylong stands out as oasis of greenery in the district. Rudyard Kipling said of the region "Surely the God live here”, this no place for men. Lahaul and Spiti have hardly changed with the time. People still live the way they used to live and strongly believe in conserving nature. Valley, river, mountains and green landscape makes Keylong an exciting picturesque destination for bikers and aside from its amazing landscape, the vicinity of Keylong offers several places, temples, monasteries and bazaar which are worth visiting.

SURU VALLEY-KARGIL
After taking advantage a last time of this wonderful place, we follow our route in direction of Kargil.A quiet town now, in the past it served as an important trade and transit centre for the Central-Asian merchants due to its unique equidistant location.

KARGIL-KASHMIR
KASHMIR
SRINAGAR HAS A LONG HISTORY, DATING BACK AT LEAST TO THE 3RD CENTURY BC AND HAS GONE THROUGH MANY DOMINATIONS OVER THE CENTURIES, AMONG THEM WERE THE BUDDHISTS, THE HUNS, THE HINDUS. THE INDEPENDENT HINDU AND BUDDHIST RULE OF SRINAGAR LASTED UNTIL THE 14TH CENTURY WHEN THE KASHMIR VALLEY, INCLUDING THE CITY, CAME UNDER THE CONTROL OF SEVERAL MUSLIM RULERS, INCLUDING MUGHALS. LATER, IN 1814 THE CITY BECAME UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE SIKHS. AFTER INDIA AND PAKISTAN’S INDEPENDENCE FROM BRITAIN (1947), CERTAIN PASHTUN TRIBES FROM MOUNTAINOUS REGION OF NORTH-WEST OF PAKISTAN ENTERED THE KASHMIR VALLEY TO CAPTURE IT. THE CITY IS NOWADAYS HEAVILY MILITARIZED BUT DESPITE THAT STORMY POLITICAL CLIMATE, YOU WILL ENJOY STILL TO DO SOME SIGHTSEEING AROUND THE CITY WHO RECEIVED AN AMAZING CULTURAL HERITAGE UNDER THE PREDOMINANT INFLUENCE OF THE MANY SUCCESSIVE DOMINATIONS.
