Bugatti Veyron Ka Engine Diagram Ka Parts Show



5 days (327 km / + or - 4637 m)

Map of the region to come


Day 1 & 2: Leh - Hunder
(126 km / 2046m + / - 2409m)


Day 1: Leh - The Khardung - camping spot between North and Pullu Khardung
Village (61 km / 1717 + m / - 923m)

Km 0: starting center Leh (alt 3576m), passing in front of a beautiful open dump ...
Km 4: Tsemo Gompa (3718M), mini neck
Possible to avoid doing the whole tour up the street from the Women's Alliance (street name ???).
Km 11: Gangl village (3971m)
Km 20: River (4340m), picnic spot potential
Km 16: South Kullu checkpoint at the entrance to the right. Dabh a little further to the left (4644m)
Km 32: End tar
Km 41: Col (5293m)
I went 3 times to pass, the altimeter has never shown more than 5300m (5293m / 5290m / 5278m). Other riders told me they measured between 5320 and 5340m, is hardly Taglang La. Well, it is still 1700m climb over 40km (just over 4%), but it seemed to me surprisingly softer than the Taglang (less baggage, it makes a huge difference too).
Road conditions: good tar on a good thirty miles, very gradual ascent. Correct track on the last 9 miles before the pass, seriously degrades the last 3, steeper towards the end. A lot of scree on the other side of the neck. We had snow (limit around 5000m).
Km 48: piste less rotten
Km 50-51: replat (approx 4800m)
Km 52: lake (4780m), can camp. A platform was built to host the Dalai Lama, who lunched there during his visit there qqs years.
Km 56: North Pullu (4644m), checkpoint Dabh + hotel
Km 60-61: several spots for camping / river (approx 4370m)


J2: camping spots after North Pullu - Hunder
(65km / 323m + / - 1486m)

Km 5 spots for camping / River (or ask Homestay, qqs houses) (4150m).
Km 10: Khardung Village (4020M), a small rise after the village.
14 Km env: the road back a little over 1 km (3960m -> 4000m).
Km 21: small ledge.
Km 25: crossing a road down to the river Shyok on the right (old road to the Nubra).
Km 29: cross (3470m).
Descent to km 30: Khalsar (3380m), bridge, it goes back.
Km 33: cross (indicating Diskit 23km) + checkpost (military entrance area - 3360m) and up -> 3550 m.
Km 34: 2nd checkpost (exit military zone), the road descends (qqs laces on approx 2km)
A cross (3312m).
Km 42: Crossroads: Diskit straight / Panamik right. Km 48
env: road climbs a bit then gently descends along a beautiful cliff (track) with the valley in the lower right-cons. Qqs rockfalls. Crossing a river that has benefited from heavy rainfall to leave his bed (large curd).
Km 50: Bifurcation direction Diskit left Gompa (3280m). Leh indication 115km.
Km 52: Diskit Gompa, 2 km climb a bit steep but well paved (3400m).
Km 54: main road back, false-flat down to km 65: Hunder (3250m).
careful, do not believe that from Leh the road is all downhill after Khardung La. There qqs beautiful ascent / descent, especially between the bifurcation and Khalsar Diskit-Hunder one side Sumur-Panamik other. Fatigue with no obvious end of day if we left that morning for Leh.

J3: Hunder - Sand Dunes - Disk - Sumoor - Panamik - night Sumoor
82 km / + or - about 150m? (Not rated)

Km 4 env: side-trip to the sand dunes.
Km 12: Diskit village.
Km 13: crossing crossroads Diskit Gompa (3250m).
Km 15: Road intersection Diskit / Panamik / Khardung.
QQS laces can get down to the bed River. Great straight line
qqs km across the valley.
Km 25: intersection with signs for different distances. The old road from Leh along the Shyok is barred.
Km 40: Sumoor (3217m).
Km 61: Panamik (alt not found, barely higher than Sumoor). The hot springs are on the right a little above the road. A bit ugly. A "rest-house" is under construction next door. Shower nice nonetheless. I do not think it's worth the shot to 40 km from Sumoor more just for that. The day the road will open up the Siachen glacier (if that day comes a day!), It'll be a nice break on the route.
Km 82: return Sumoor

Between Panamik Sumur and there on the right a large rock formation a few hundred meters high, in the middle of the valley, sheltering within a small lake. Nice ride (leave the bikes at the foot of the big rock, it fears nothing, a priori, but better still the lock and take valuables with you).


Days 4 & 5: Sumoor -
Leh (119km / 2441m + / - 2078m)

Km 10: tent camp Tirith (luxury!) (Theoretical altitude based panel: 10,000 ft or m. According altitude: 3293m / 3300m).
Km 15 : Back bridge and major traffic all distances shown. Great straight line
qqs kms, crossing the valley.
Km 24-25: qqs laces up on the main road Diskit - Khardung.
Km 27-28: passage of the military zone (up / desccente).
Km 31: Khalsar, start up the pass.
Km 81: The Khardung (indicating altitude: 5278m).
Km 119: return Leh.

Possible to do in 1 day for cyclists beefy, but more comfortable 2 with 1 night Khalsar Khardung or village for example, or a little above camping.
