Delhi-Leh-Delhi Bike Ride – Part 6 – Leh Local Sightseeing

A bustling crowd had gathered around the stupa, adding to its vibrant ambiance. Shanti Stupa, an ideal spot for leisurely evenings in Leh’s consistently cool climate, saw the ebb and flow of visitors as the daylight gradually dimmed. The atmosphere shifted as the sun sank, taking the fervor of the crowd with it. Today being a full moon day, the stupa took on an ethereal glow in the moonlight’s embrace. Witnessing the city of Leh aglow under the moon’s radiance from the elevated vantage point was a spectacle of unique allure.

Delhi-Leh-Delhi Bike Tour – Part IV – Amritsar to Srinagar

As we proceeded, we noticed a gradual change in the landscape. Our path led us alongside the mountains, with lush green hills on either side. The view was absolutely breathtaking, and the beauty of the mountains left us speechless. Along the way, we encountered debris from the previous day’s landslide in some places, but it didn’t impede the flow of traffic.

This is the process of the ceremony. The soldiers from India and Pakistan would engage in a shouting match before parting ways with their flags and exchanging handshakes. This was accompanied by the cheers of the onlookers. Witnessing the ceremony in person is a unique experience. Indian side was leading, where the noise was strongest. The crowd on the Pakistani side was smaller, and the thousands of spectators on the Indian side easily outmatched them. At six o’clock, the flags were lowered in unison, folded, and held by the soldiers. The ceremony ended with a handshake between the two sides.

Bike Trip – First Three Days(30-July-2022 – 01-August-2022)

The first visit was to Safdarjung’s tomb. This memorial is located near Lodhi Road and was built for Nawab Mirza Muqeem Abdul Mansoor Khan. The mausoleum was completed in 1754 and is the last garden-style mausoleum of the Mughal era. The building materials used are red stone and marble. Abdul Mansoor Khan, who came to India in 1722 and became the ruler of Awadh, was later known as ‘Safdarjung’. He was born in Nisambur, Iran, the birthplace of Umar Khayyam, a famous mathematician, historian, and poet. Despite its size and beauty, this memorial is not a popular tourist destination in Delhi.

How to send bike in train

Parceling the bike is something many people do on long trips. It will help a lot to save days and reduce expenses on journeys. When going for the first time, many people may have a lack of knowledge or confusion about how to do this. We were also in such a situation at first. So the first thing to do after booking the train was to go to the railway station and meet the parcel handler. There is a person named Selvam who does all this at the Chennai railway station. He told us everything in detail. It has been said on the railway website that it is enough to go 2 hours before the departure of the train and make things ready for sending. But when we inquired directly, we were told that it is better to go at least at 7 am and do the booking, packing, etc., and after that, it is enough to go when the train is about to leave. Because, if more parcels arrive that day, going earlier will help us to send our parcel first.

Leh Bike Trip Planning

An all India trip was a dream that existed even before owning a vehicle. The lust was inside for almost ten years. After the marriage that desire intensified because Divya was also there with her full consent. So 2020 was fixed to give life to that dream. From that day we started saving a portion of our savings for the dream of travel. It has also been decided to start the journey in 2022 . The reason for choosing 2022 was that the leave would be credited in the account of both by then. Both will get leave for 30 days. We told about the same in office in January 2022. The managers agreed without raising any objections. So the first hurdle was over.
