Back in the early 1970's when I was living in the Kulu Valley below the Rohtang Pass leading to Lahoul & Spiti and on to the Bara-lacha Pass into Ladakh, I badly wanted travel to Leh. After a couple of years trying to get the permission needed to drive by motorcycle into the then military restricted zone, on the day I was set to finally go, I had a motorcycle accident and the trip was off! There is only a small window of opportunity to drive through the Bara-lacha Pass each year, and I had blown it!
Oh I'm sorry to hear that... I have seen several photos of the Bara-lacha pass but never been there... never mind you still can complete your ride anytime your heart desires to! 🙂
sorry forgot to mention this
FUN FACT:
Even if the temperature is 8 or 12 degrees during the day, you actually may feel very hot as the sun is very harsh here. You may even get a sunstroke! At 8 degrees celcius!
