Today we entered Ladakh district.Atlast my dream of visting Ladakh was turning to be a true experience.We skipped sonmarg sightseeing and proceeded to Zojila pass.The roads were'nt good and we reached Zojila(alt 3405 mts) at around 8:45.Reached Drass at around 11 am.Had a short photography session.After we proceeded and reached kargil at around 2:30 .Since we had time we decided to proceed to panikhar in suru valley.The valley was fertile and it was greenery everywhere.The roads were extremely bad and we (sumo grande) rode at 20 kms/hr.But scenary was amazing.The fields bore a yellow look and now and then we would cross a village.But we seldom passed another vehicle on the route.The suru valley is definitely worth a visit if you have a chance to come to these parts.We reached Panikhar at around 6 pm.The setting of j & k guest house was great.We then went for a short walk.The horizon was deep blue and time was perfect for a stroll as we had just enough light for visibility.We passed through houses and fields and small waterfalls.The views of snowy peaks was amazing.Throughout the ride the road was lined with wild flowers, yellow and red and it resembled like we were kings being welcomed with flowers.
