The Baralacha la - Leh to Manali Journey
The Baralacha la was our last pass of the day. We were now one state lower, in Himachal Pradesh. Deep valleys, hairpin bends and steep curves were now “just another day in office”.

Nakee la, Leh-Manali Highway, India
By the time we reached Nakee la, third pass, we had come to terms with our “heart in mouth” condition. Every glimpse of the Indus river flowing below brought with it a green oasis.
The Gata Loops a series of hairpin bends.
It was a roller coaster ride we will never forget.

Rock formations on the Leh Manali highway. They looked like needles rising in the sky, reminding us of the sand castles we built on the beach as kids. Except that they were gigantic!
