Leh - Himalaya, India - 5th June 2008

By: Mosuha

Today we took the last part of the roadtour, 245km from Sarchu to Leh in the region of Ladakh. That took us 10 hours this time.

We came along some of the highest motorable passes of the world.

Nakeela Pass at 15547 ft, which is 4738 meters,
Lachulunga at 16616 ft, which is 5065 meters,
and Taglamgla at 17592 ft, the second highest motorable pass in the world, which is 5362 meters.

In this high there is growing nothing anymore, no trees, no plants, no grass..... So the sourrounding look some kind of surealistic to me.... a lot of stones and rocks and of course snow....

We all felt sooooo sick, especially at Taglamgla Pass, because of the high elevation. Our hearts beated like crazy and you breathed very fast..... Although the landscape again was so beautiful, we didn't want to crawl out the car to take some pictures.... We just wanted to go down as fast as possible again and we were so happy as we arrived in Leh..... pfew....
