In Leh

Am in sitting in an awefully slow Internet cafe (called eCafe) in Leh. Found a place to stay called Mahe Guest house and took a hot shower after three days. Just doing the preparatory stuff now for the Bull and my ride to Khardung La tomorrow. Went to a Bullet mechanic called Juma earlier (it's near/opposite side of the Indian Oil gas station by the circle) - he said he's busy and that I should come after 2. I got a guy to work on getting my permit to go to Khardung La (yes, you need a govt. permit). My current plan is to go to Khardung La early morning tomorrow - then back to Leh. And then head to Lamarayu monastery and spend the night there. The next morning head to Dras via Kargil - spend the night in Dras that got shelled like crazy during the Kargil war due to its proximity to the border and then head to Srinagar.

I had amazing experiences - too many stories culminating into a whole experience - I'll probably write once I'm back in Mumbai. Am thinking I'll book my ticks for next Tue now.
