Km 22: Jispa 1 (Hotel, camping tents)
Km 24: Jispa 2 (3360m), last STD / ISD Upshi before, but not verified that it Between work
Gemur and Jispa: alternating residues of tar and track scree. Qqs portions good tar (I tell you where to keep a little suspense). Not find open Dabh Jispa, but 2-3 Dabh nice to Gemur (should have been stopping there). After Jispa, alternating tar / track good
Km 29: Darcha, NbSe Dabh before and after the bridge (3422m). Checkpoint.
Ascent to km 37 (3700m), down

Nice day but super dusty and full of trucks, we hopes that it will not like this whole trip.
The two met in English Batal spent a full day Patseo (camping) and bcp appreciated. We meet an American Indian + 4 traveling with a bike mtb assistance to carry the heavy stuff (but no camping gear). Pascal (the Irish met in Keylong) is also Patseo. We will drive more or less together to Leh.

Grampoo (3389m) - Keylong (3184m)

July 18 (continued)
51km / 717 m / - 929m

We thought Grampoo sleep and leave the next morning but Grampoo is nothing more than a crossroads between the roads Manali - Leh and Spiti. And then a nice downhill tarmac is too tempting after 2 days of track so we started to 14h after a good rice-dal, thinking to only thirty miles. Belle
descent to 5.5 km (3183m) A serving of super
macadam (50km / h!) And approx 7km track
Km 18: bitumen again!
Km 19: Sissu end of the bitumen. Large town unpleasant, very dusty, trucks coming down like crazy. Opportunity to sleep (1 hotel)
Then + Or - bitumen / correct track.
NBx villages / water. Qqs passages rotten.

Tandi Great down to the bottom along the river (not take notes on distances and altitudes because it was late).
Attention petrol station before Leh last at Tandi (possible to find kerosene for the stove in between Keylong and Leh Dabh, but not necessarily obvious). We sought shelter from km 30 but found nothing. Qqs camp with tents Tandi behind the gas station, not very appealing! Then
qqs km gradual rise up Keylong road in good condition. We stayed in the first guesthouse on the upper road (Niwa guesthouse or sth like that), friendly staff but not terrible site (road work). It's better to continue a little (400-500m), there is a nice guesthouse on the right (Sumrila Guesthouse), very clean, the food is great. Otherwise, I recommend the Hotel Tashi Delek (or guesthouse?) In the street below, but apparently more expensive. We met Pascal, a cyclo Irishman who goes to Leh, and a couple of Polish stock with panniers and trailer, loaded as they were traveling for years.

At Keylong, several internet cafes, connection but sometimes difficult or impossible (NbSe cuts electricity). Ditto for the ISD.
We took our first day-off (0 km cycling) since the beginning of the trip! Qqs provisions for the journey: 1 package Blédine ("Cérélac") for breakfast for fruit, vegetables 1 package (very good). Packets of vegetable soup + Maggie. 1kg tsampa. Boiled potatoes for dinner (with soup). Dried fruit, hard boiled egg, banana and chapatis for lunch. RMQ: you can "save" qqs kg of food if you eat and sleep in the Dabh. The mobile phone

going fairly well (Airtel + BSNL). That was the last of the trip for us before you return to Keylong and Manali late August (no roaming in Jammu-Kashmir).

Batal - Grampoo

Batal - Grampoo by bus, bike rotten (large scree) at least until Chotra Datu. Not want to damage the bike so bus, plus it was raining so it was well pinned. The 2 English took a truck who asked them 200Rps. Rps bus 150 for 2 (bike included) at 8:30 in the morning. Here qqs notes taken from the bus (not km):
scree slope up more or less hilly Chotra Datu (alt 3360) and then climb switchbacks up to 3430m. Mini Dabh then descent. Passages waterfalls (some 20-30cm), bcp water (more than last year at the same time). Down to 3240m. Then a gentle climb, track better, and even tar qqs shoelaces arriving on Grampoo! The photos below are from 2007:

Our first true pass

Losar - Baralacha La (4550m) - Batal

Only 40 km qqs 700m elevation gain today, but by far the hardest day since the beginning. Fortunately we were told that the neck was relatively easy. Maybe a little fatigue in the misconduct (the night under the stars in the quail still was a bit short), altitude, lack of fuel (the "noodle soup" are not very nutritious), and bumpy. In short, big blow pump qqs km from col.

Track rotten

Here I battle to 3-4 km / h not to set foot on the ground.

Even Sophie is here forced to get off his horse into the gravel, it's saying something! not wait the road is completed, if it is a day !

Go, courage, even a little effort, almost to the neck!

delighted to finally reach the top

The descent is steep and the track rotten, long live the ATV. We arrived a little later at the junction of the road Chandra Tal is with regret that we decide to zap (there is 14km of uphill course to reach this lake, moderately want to drive at night ...). So we continue the descent.

Glaciers in the descent of Kunzum The

Topo: 40 km, about + / - 800m

Km 10: Losar village (4100m), Dabh (Kunzum Dabh left at the entrance of Losar, very good) , checkpoint
RMQ: no / little camping spots before Losar. A cabin on the left wall to dte + 1 but near a village 15 km
: camping spot owl (4128m)
Km 17: perfect camping spot (grass + water) at the foot of the pass. The trail then rises gradually. A lot of scree.
Km 28: Kunzum La (4530m)







Summer 2007




the descent, there is a choice between two "roads" that join, we took the left. The right one apparently under construction. Track, scree. Quite steep.

Chandra river (Summer 2007)
(you can see the road to Chandra Tal cons below)

Km 36: Chandra Tal to bifurcation (14km to rest the lake, we did not go because ultimately it was late and we were punctured, not want to drive at night on the track)
Km 40: Batal (4021 m), 1 Dabh held by a couple nice. The best aluminum parantha the trip!

Chandra valley to Batal (Summer 2007)

RMQ : we were told easy ascent, but actually track hyper rotten parts of road construction so big scree ( have had to push the bike in places, especially to avoid me the bowls, but also for fear of messing up our horses). I felt not very well at about 2 km of the pass (altitude?), In short, have found it rather hard. 2 English encountered in the evening at Dabh (Losar party) had the same impression.
