The scenes from around the mountain town of Leh had no shortage of things to see and do...
But of course after our little trip, the bikes needed a little TLC first (that and I really needed a rear brake).
First up, was a walk to the stupa forest.
Not sure what the cans exactly do. Snow measurements? Keep them growing straight? Protection from dogs/people/cows peeing? Multi-purpose I'm sure.
Next was a climb up to one of the many gompas (monastery) overlooking town. Although the climb couldn't have been more than a 100 meters or so, it wasn't too easy at elevation.
Looking up-
Looking down-
Next to the gompa-
The scenery at sunset was surreal. Definitely a moment to enjoy and where you know that this is the reason I like to travel.
