Thanks Kevin, all of us were surprised how good the video turned out to be. Especially after editing and putting that song in.

As for Ladakh, no words, no photo and no video can capture its raw and in your face beauty and charm.

Incredible trip... I think what amazes me the most, is what you call good highways... Here's a local road that's not bad to ride, it's a secondary road up to one of the local ski hills. A few twisties on it and you can get some great pictures of Vancouver from the view point part way up the road.


Quite the difference in road surfaces...
