As easy as they come, the short ride to Leh from Rumste was a breeze. After all the effort we’d put in yesterday, this was as easy a day we could’ve hoped for.
Touched down at Leh around 0930 and headed straight to the DC office to apply for the inner line permits. By now the Avenger was showing signs of stress as the oil seals on the front suspension gave way. Hovered around town looking for replacements and repairs, but to no avail. Looked around town for a decent place to stay, but most of the hotels had shut down for off season, eventually checked in to Hotel Khangri (very close to the market) which offered 75% discount on the listed tariff. Collected the permits at 4 and chillaxed in the evening around Leh. Had our first bath in 4 days and we had more than Maggi and Dal-Chawal to choose from; all kinds of cuisines, vegetarian and meaty were on offer. Loitered around in the evening a little more. With plans of hitting Nubra in the morning, gulped down the OMR and treated ourselves to some Chinese food, popped the Diamox and dozed away!!!
