Leh Adventure : 5/15

The journey was from Udhampur to Srinagar, which was about 220km. We had breakfast in nearby locality of Udhampur. As usual we had Alo Paratha with Pickle/Curd.

We started around 10:30 am after good rest.We planned to reach early by 7pm to Srinagar. Tough luck, we faced traffic and were stuck for almost an hour. The good thing about ride in north India was the day light was present till 7:30pm so we made a target to reach before the day light.

Few of the roads were bad which made us to slow down where as few were really good. The bad roads were risky though, again with no light and pot holes.

Finally reached Srinagar around 11pm :P.  The plan for the next day was to roam Srinagar and do a little shopping, so we were relaxed. Had non-veg food, we also had rum shots too to keep body warm :P. 

After a long sleep we had breakfast at 11am the next day. Since the day was off for bike riding, we planned to visit good restaurant in Srinagar by local transport.

Mughal Darbhar!
We visited Mughal Darbhar, the taste was delicious. The taste of Kashmir food was felt.  Yummy!.

In the evening we visited Dal Lake, one of the beautiful spot to visit if you are in Kashmir.

Nehru Garden was in the middle of the Lake. We took lot of photos here.

The Lake was huge and there were shops on the lake side. It was good experience.



Dal Lake
After Dal Lake, we went out for shopping. Shopping list included items for Snow, Rain, Cold and all. Also we also made this as opportunity to buy stuffs for near and dear ones.

The Bike were serviced as Varun and Amit (Mechanic) were involved during the first half.

We had not rode the bike completed for the day. Had a good walk around the city.


The discussion, bargain with shopkeepers was fun. They were all businessman, it was good learning how to interact to customers.
