Indus Valley

.
The next day, we're on wheels again, heading towards Leh via the Indus Valley. We put the bikes at the back of a pick-up so as to avoid the first 20kms of gravel and rocks outside Korzok that we already had to undergo on the way there.

We need 2 days to reach Leh (69 + 104 kms) , and it's now good tarmac, quite relaxing. The only pass (Namshang La, 4,900m) seems easy as we are now well-acclimatized to the altitude.

Then we start the long descent along the Indus, which is far from being downhill all the way...

Arriving in Leh, back to civilisation and pollution...
