Pang to Leh

On the second day of our journey from Lahaul to Leh, we travelled from Pang to Leh. Here are some photos from that stretch of the journey.

Winding Road to More Planes: This was few kms after we had left our camp at Pang.

More Planes: After Pang the road to Leh passes through a flat area at an average altitude of 5100 meters. This area is known as More Planes (Pronounced Moray) and it stretches for approx 50 km.
