30th July 2018 I ran back from Karsha to meet Peter and met him around 10 am as he got a hitchhike from Zangla to catch up with me. Its been two years since I met him after the Himalayan cycling in 2016. It took a while to get money from the atm to be […]
The next day morning I had time to explore Padum and run up to Karsha Gompa which was like 8kms from Padum. I was supposed to meet Peter the next day, so I thought its an ideal day for having acclimatizing runs around the region, which is already at 3000m altitude. I walked around Padum […]
On 27th July, I had landed in Delhi flying from Milan to start off my journey towards the Himalayas. From Delhi, I took a flight to Srinagar and got a taxi for 100 Rs to the TRC. A lot of taxi drivers take you for a ride instead of showing you the bus stand which […]

Most of the people prefer backpacking where the speed and distance traveled per day are sacrificed and the amount of supplies are increased. A backpacker carries more food, clothes, stove, a multi- layer tent and extra gears and try to settle down near a basecamp […]
The next day I started early and cycled peacefully. I was going solo, enjoying the breathtaking views and moving forward. The pangi valley was heaven for cyclists, the roads were muddy but not cobbled or landslide prone. Only one place next to Tindi was prone to landslide which was crossable as well. I crossed Mindhal […]
The next day morning we got up and it was foggy. We were progressing at a faster rate as we had to prepare for crossing Sach pass the next day. So our aim was to pack some food later in the evening for 2 days and cross the pass. We had 42k for the day […]
The next day (27 Aug, 16) we woke up early around 6 am and starting (cycle-run) towards the breakfast point. It was drizzling in the morning and we had a pitstop at a small store for breakfast. We had aloo paratha and charged our electronics. Soon tar road faded and muddy trails started to begin. […]
