A thin irregular line scratched on a bare, brown hillside: a path between two distant villages. Two men in long gowns, driving two laden donkeys: the only traffic. Dwarfed miniaturised by the immensity of the mountains, wild tangles of them, Rugged shorn of trees, craggy slopes hued in so many tonnes, from dark brown of sand to purplish grey.
This is how the routes
from Manali to Leh can be seen. The heaven on earth for bikers, off-roaders and
photographers. This is what many of our mates missed last year... so we at Trek
Mates India give you one more chance to experience the thrill again.. this
year... in July.
Trek Mates India
announces
Leh-Ladakh Trek cum Tour from 7th July
'12 till 25th July’12.
And this year its not
only for the bikers, but also non- bikers can join in. As we also plan to for
4 wheelers along with us for the whole plan.
The manali- Leh road
is one of the most exciting and scenic biking trails anywhere across the
country, crossing as it does four high passes over the great Himalayas and the
parallel Pir Panjal and Zanskar range. The route which any bike lover would
like to visit at least once in his life time. And the beauty which mesmerizes anyone
