Ladakh Bike Trip - Pang to Leh, Moray Planes and Taglang La Pass with Extra Luggage (Day 4)

Pang is a small valley full tents wherein all travelers (mostly bikers like us) on Manali Leh highway takes shelter for night. Leh is 200 kilometer away from Pang.

A view of Pang

The ride from Pang to Leh seemed easy as compare to last 3 days ride. On the way we had to cross Moray Planes (riding in sand and deserts) and World's Second highest motorable Pass, Taglang La pass of 17,582 feet altitude.

The day started with Coffee prepared with love by Ladakhi host lady. By day 4, we all had become habitual of  performing some standard activities in morning except the obvious ones. These activities were to pack the bags, load it properly on bikes, tighten bungee ropes hard and check your bikes.

While we were busy wrapping our way towards Leh, the Host lady handed over some chocolates and biscuits to us. She said "This you eat on the way and ride safe". It was so touching and humbling experience that my entire day was all happy.

Sudhir loaded his bag on my bike and he was pillion with Anurag. Hardly few kilometers and his bag tilted on one side and mine to the other side. I had no option than to carry his luggage on back. It was really uncomfortable riding with that tall and heavy bag.

Overloaded me with Sudhir's luggage

My struggle with Sudhir's luggage was on and road suddenly disappeared, thats was the beginning of Morray planes. There were plenty of pathways in entire desert and all ended at one place only. The road became softest possible. Tyres of my Royal Enfield were in sand many inches. I was trying hard to maintain the balance of my bike and "extra luggage" loaded on me.

Morray planes

We stopped at no where in the middle of desert away from normally followed routes and had fantastic photo shoot. Despite low oxygen all of us made all possible efforts to click best of pictures "in Action"

Moray planes took us almost one and half hours to complete and it was really fun to ride on sand with no idea of how deep the sand was. Now the steep uphill ride was towards world's second highest motorable pass Taglang la. By now we were bored of crossing passes. In an hour or so, we reached at the top of Taglang La pass. To our surprise, most of us had headache due to low oxygen. Another surprise was Sudhir's quietness. He was disappointed as he was not riding today and above that he had severe headache.


Downhill ride of Taglang La pass towards Leh was painfull. Most of the road was under repair and a layer of stones was everywhere to ride on. As it is I was facing huge problem in downhill ride and by now Sudhir's heavy backpack was hitting me hard on soldiers and neck. Anurag was kind enough to take the backpack from me for rest of the ride. The combination of good roads and less luggage gave me enjoyment of heaven.

Finally some good roads to ride

Upshi was the town where we stopped for Lunch. Leh was hardly 50 kilometer away from here. Surprisingly we were riding on time that day. The first major milestone was an hour away from us. We all sitting quietly waited for lunch when all of us were complaining about noise of silence.

Last stretch of first major milestone was very easy to complete. We reached Leh in late afternoon. Searching a hotel was never a problem in Leh.

  11. On the surface, buying YouTube subscribers may seem like an effective strategy to boost your channel's visibility and credibility. Nevertheless, a large subscriber count loses its value if it does not reflect a genuinely engaged audience. Fake subscribers can lead to poor engagement rates, which can adversely affect your channel's ranking and reputation. For sustainable growth, it's advised to focus on generating high-quality content that appeals to your audience and fosters organic growth.

  13. The practice of buying YouTube subscribers in India is indicative of creators desiring a swift increase in perceived popularity. These services promise a boost in subscriber numbers, but these figures often represent inactive profiles that do not engage with the creators’ content. While the initial spike in metrics might seem beneficial, it lacks the engagement—likes, comments, or shares—that signifies an active and invested audience. Moreover, this strategy can cross the line of YouTube’s guidelines, risking punitive action against the channel. Authentic audience growth, through consistent and engaging content, thus emerges as the more viable and long-term strategy for success on the platform.

  16. The phrase "buy legit YouTube subscribers" denotes a service aimed at content creators seeking to ethically enhance their channel's subscriber count with real, engaged users. These services operate within YouTube's guidelines, promising an increase in subscribers who are genuinely interested and will actively participate in the community, thus avoiding any algorithmic penalties. The allure of such services is their pledge of authenticity and active engagement, which are crucial for a channel's organic growth and long-term success. However, the responsibility falls on creators to meticulously ensure that these subscribers are not bots or inactive accounts. This aligns with the ultimate goal of building a vibrant community that contributes to a meaningful and interactive viewer experience.

  17. In the chaotic marketplace of the internet, the term "buy Google reviews cheap India" embodies a disreputable strategy employed by some businesses to feign a more favorable online image. These entities seek low-cost, falsified acclaim, often generated by click farms in regions where the cost of such deceit is considerably low. Such practices create an onslaught of counterfeit 5-star ratings, misleading potential customers and corrupting the sanctity of legitimate customer feedback. The attraction to these quick-fix solutions stems from competitive pressures, where a higher average rating can sharply increase a business's appeal. However, this tactic violates Google's review guidelines and risks severe consequences, including the deletion of dishonest reviews and potential suspension of the businesses' online profiles, tarnishing their reputation in a perpetual cycle of mistrust and manipulation.
