Ladakh Region, Northern India . (Fly and Ride)

[yempaul]

Ladakh, a land of mesmerizing beauty. Some called it heaven on Earth. We didn't reject those claims. The magic simply rolled onto you. Many a times, you didn't get to completely appreciate it to fullness before the next one recur. The illusion was much to abounding fascination. Many have been there and many came back with multifold spellbind.

Those Altitude Mountain Sickness we conceded to, blood trickling down our noses, lungs desperately gasping for available air were soon forgotten as we examined wizardry paintings of charm. The mountains, the rivers, the valleys, the beautiful people. We saw part of Ladakh. It was fulfilling.

I present with nothing but images from the trip.

June 2014, Ladakh Region, Northern India.

We peeked, we gawked, we stared. Aroused and captivated, we were impressed.

Till the next one.

How did you arrange the permits for Ladakh? There' s been some real headaches this year getting the permits to head north of Menali, was it easy to get the permits?

There were some problems with permits being denied for Ladakh about 2 months ago, the motorcycle tour guides in the region started a committee and a petition because of this.

Phil ... I was using the Oly's EPL6 and the missus holding on to Canon's G1X. Some were also taken off my Samsung S4.

The permits were settled by an agent in Delhi. Rishi State Express. We got the bikes from Trans Himalayan Tours. So far no problems with those permits. You going up again?

The "All Ladakh Bike Rental Union" - ALBRU, have been trying to ban non -Ladakh registered bikes from entereting Ladkh



Emergency Meeting of Bikers & Bike Enthusiasths to Adress Undignified Union Issues in Leh-Ladakh | New Delhi




It’s time time be one It’s time to raise our voice against some unjustified notifications issued by ALBRU ( All Ladakh Bike Rental Union) and Ladakh Motorbike Rental Union making there own rule that no biker with motorbike registered on a family member or relatives name would be allowed to use there motorcycle in Leh- Ladakh and the same goes with all motorbike tour operators which is taking away every bikers right to freedom to visit THE Macca of Biking Leh-Ladakh.

So would request every Biker fellows, bike enthusiasts or know a Biker kindly come and support to see safe biking growing in INDIA.

MTOA is working full time for making sure that any biker in India is allowed to freely move in any part of India and needs support from each one of you to come forward for this event and support whether by voluntarily giving in time, whether through there network or whether financially.

Its" now or never " It's about or freedom, it''s about our civil right and it's about tourism and Biking.

Lets come together as saviours and sace biking and protect our right to freedom for riding anywhere in India.

Wonderful Yempaul!
So glad you didn't confine these pics to Facebook.

These two, I think, are exceptional.
